thought i'd give people a heads up, If you signed up to Sky via the half price deal that was on the site last year then your current contract is coming to the end.

So it's at the point where if you decide to cancel Sky, you have given them 31 days notice as is stated in the T&C's.
Otherwise come December your bill will shoot up to the normal price, as if you don't inform them, they assume you are staying with sky for another year.

My install was on the 6th of dec last year, so if im gonna cancel Sky would have to tell them before the 6th of nov.

Im planning on staying with Sky, gonna be dropping the Movies as just seems to be repeats, lost count at the times "race to witch mountain" has been on, plus can download stuff off the web.

Im hopping to maybe try and see if i can get any offers, but can't see that happening tbh.
word of warning tho, alot say they are going to cancel, hopping to get a good offer from Sky and 95% of the time from reading on other forums they say, "were sorry to hear that and will cancel the contract"

Good shout mate. I was lucky enough to get on it & have been looking at options but forgot about the 30 days notice, might pay a full sub for 1 month to keep it over Christmas though?
Probably gonna drop Movies & Sports if I stay with Sky but hopefully VM will have a deal on, I wouldn't mind changing every year if it saved a few bob.
Appreciate the heads-up,
HH.

I managed to get on a good deal the year before, cancelled under my name last year. And then subsequently signed up under the wifes name for last year.
You may be able to cancel sky and then get another household member sign up for a new contract.

Not sure how we are going to do it this year, i don't watch the sports or movies but am not prepared to pay an extra tenner for HD, IMO HD is worth squat.

I got sky for half price for the next 12 months with HD and the movies and sports.My 12 months subscription starts on the 29.10.10 until 29.10.11.Which i am happy with that i would not pay the full price because it`s really not worth the money anyway as it`s full of repeats and the will cancel at the end of the 12 months half price.

I phoned them up just before the 3d channel launch as i didnt take the sports package with the half price deal , she said i would lose my discount so to phone back in November to sort a deal out , she asked why i would leave and i said because i pay virgin enough for my BB and phone i will not pay sky £58 at the same time , she assured me they will give some kind of deal to keep your custom , lets see lol

I signed up on 16 Feb 2009 so will give my notice jusft after new years, doubt I will be renewing any services, going to cancel the whole lot then wait for another half price deal.

I doubt they could offer me any package to stay unless it was the whole lot for another 12months at half price.

my deal comes to an end, at the end of december....

im going to play sky and virgin to get the best deal.

same as others not too interested about movies cause ive already watched them before they are on sky anyway....

Whats the most basic pack you can keep so you can still have sky+ and anytime?

From what i've been looking at it's £19.50 for the basic package, as thats just for the Variety Pack. So still beable to use sky+ and any programs that Variety Pack covers on the anytime.
Wish they would drop the HD charge as that would make life alot easier.

As for me will be £42 for the Variety Pack and sport, then have HD £10 on top of that so comes to £52 a month. Their gonna have to come down on the price when i ring them, as i'd be happy at £42.

Been compairing with VM on the prices.
I could get the same channels as Sky for £36 a month on VM, plus HD charge of £7 so thats £43 a month.

So think im gonna have to play a cat and mouse game with Sky, as Im already with VM when it comes to telephone and boardband so easy to switch back. Tbh i wanna stay with Sky, as the range of HD channels if alot better than VM at this moment in time. Just gonna have to hope i can twist their arm on the price i wanna pay, when i ring.

Let us know when you ring cg and what they offer you
