billytheghillie Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 thinking of getting sky, a couple of questions for you guys in the know. I have a freesat box and dish, will the dish be ok for the sky box? they have a offer on the now, subscribe and get Samsung tab 3 7in. for £49 do I need to have a phone connected to box? All replies most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 90 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) I'm sure the dish you have is the same - you used to need your phone connected for the first year of a new subscription assume its the same Edited September 6, 2013 by V8 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novice cushie shooter Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Been with sky for 3 years. Phoned in july asking to leave and a coulpe of days laterthey phoned and offered me 6 months free with sky sports as free extra. Just moved broadband too and only pay £14.50 line rental and free broadband. Fortunately sky are the only tv packages we can get no bt vision or virgin out my way. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I cannot understand how anyone can watch Sky-you simply cannot "get into" anything half decent (and there's very little of that) without being infuriated by adverts-its like paying to be brain washed.

That's why everybody records the programme and starts watching 20 min after the broadcast starts..... That way you can fast forward all the adverts.....simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
