Seems that Sky are still (or again) offering "freeview".
I found this on the BBC message boards at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/h2/h2....igital&sort=Te quote: I have found a solution, but it means having to pay Sky. They will offer a Sky Digital Freeview package. For £120 you get a receiver, a dish, installation and a Sky (NOT BBC) freeview card. There is NO monthly contract. I've phoned Sky Customer Services and spoken to a number of their representatives and have been assured that the card WILL be the new Period 2 type. The only catches being: 1) I must have the receiver connected to a phone line for 1 year, there will be no charges unless I use the Pay Per View (PPV) services. 2) There's no guarantee on what receiver I'll get. 3) There's no visibility of Terms and Conditions for this offer. (Nothing about it online, and they wont send me details in advance). Hopefully it will work out fine, will let you know. If there's anyone out there who've used this service I'd be very interested in hearing how you got on.... |

DONT take this offer up anyone until after the 10th of July (next thursday) when the whole situation will be much clearer. Jaime |

Now, isn't this the most stupid thing that anyone has ever heard of? You can get a box, FTV card and installation for £120 but you can't get a card on its own. -- Digibox problem? : A reboot solves 90% of these. The Sky Digital FAQ: http://tinyurl.com/4f9c How to get UK TV overseas: http://tinyurl.com/6p73 Fed up with logos / red buttons? : http://www.logofreetv.org.uk/ BBC gone? : http://www.astra2d.cjb.net/ ---- Only the truth as I see it. No monies return'd. ;-) |
