sky+ sub to be scrapped

[SatDish]

well your the right age now to go shopping at M&S

He made it quite clear that the CS only know of the offers the day they are announced to stop insider trading.

That would make sense as to why they didn't know about the Connect Broadband package at the new £5 price. It does make sense I suppose but from the outside looking in, it appears as if they don't know what they are doing.

1. I was offered free install and Sky+ box for taking multiroom at a total of £20.00/mth sub. The Sky eMail made everything very clear.

2. I rejected that offer and now have the £49.00 offer for Sky+ standalone - there is no mention in the Sky email of any £10/mth sub.

I personally think now that this Sky+ sub scrap thing was nothing more than a rumor. Who knows though, all will become clear soon. At least I've still got my "trusty" TV card for recording the occasional show.

NewsreadeR you £50 of M&S vouchers could come in handy. Bird Flu is sure to cause the price of an M&S chicken to crash, that's a lot of Sunday dinners.

This isn't just Sky+, this is M&S Sky+!

February 12th was the date mentioned regarding this offer wasn't it. If so perhaps all will become clear next week.

In the job I do (financial services), we regularly change rates and the first the Call Centre know is on the day of the new rates come into force. It isn't briefed to staff due to risk of it getting out (commercially sensitive info and all that).

The fact that the Sky Call Centre staff dont know doesn't mean anything.

It was really the fact that she said she couldn't offer me the plus box yet said if I had this voucher 'which was now well out of date' she could then give my parents a box. Oh well, looks like they may go to that awful recorder NTL thingy. 12 month new contract ahead for them...

Bad news - I phoned today to confirm details of my Sky+ install on 15th Feb and after talking to 6 people in 4 Departments, I ended up with Cancellations then Installations who did indeed cancel my install bacause "I do not wish to be billed for the £10/month Sub."

Sky engineers called today and were surprised I had cancelled the Sky+ installation back on 8th Feb. They also assured me there was £10/Month to pay if I did have the installation. Confirmed to them that I cancelled. Looking into getting a Humax 9200T.

So, according to here this charge for the EPG sub is going?

If that is true I'll be getting a Sky+ box and this will concrete my business with Sky for the forseeable future (until 21CN at least).
