Sky and moving

finnteme

Got Sky 2 months ago, and now it seems that im moving to a flat where Sky cant be installed due restrictions.

What are my options, is it possible to cancel, or im i liable to pay the full 12mth contract?

Dont rule out not being able to have your Sky re-installed at your new place, just because you've been told you cant.
Have a survey done, or have a good look around yourself, you'd be surprised where its possible to mount a dish discreetly.

Would it be possible to put up a T and K bracket and pole the the Rear out of sight?

They'll let you cancel no problem. They will of course fine you for the pleasure though, lol. :P

Question is, how much the fine will be. If you could get some proof about this restriction in your new place, it might help dampen some of the pain.

Otherwise, you have 2 options I guess.
Downgrade to the cheapest package, leave the kit in storage somewheres and keep paying.
Get a mate/family member to take the kit off your hands, use it and pay you the sub, which in turn will still be coming out of your bank account I imagine.

Not entirely sure how kosher the latter option may be though

I saw that in the latest issue of their magazine they are now not charging for moving - so if you let them know they could set you up in your new place for free

i recently moved and got upgraded from standard box to hd+ and new dish and set up at no cost,they were just thankful i was staying with them.

hehe, I don't believe it's a matter of how to use the sky moving services here folks, the op is asking about how to scrap sky altogether, inside the 12 month contract, since his new place apparently has some restriction against it.

Probably some existing UPC setup perhaps?
