    Unexpectantly, I received my Free Keypad today!
    It's Sky branded (even though they said it would be an old Open one) and there were four batteries and an instruction manual in the box..
    All I did was send an email to Sky from my talk21 account last month.. Something for nothing! (well 10cent)

    I thought the offer was only available to the UK only.


    Not that i want a free keypad anyway.

    I think the offer was only valid up until the 24th Sep.......I sent an email also so fingers crossed that a free keypad is on the way to me. Not that I'll use it much but it's something for nothing.

    Anything on Sky that needs the keyboard is much more expensive than using PC.

    The interactive and Email is only really relevent to people with no PC and also who don't mind doubling $ky$ profit.

    Well, I wouldn't mind the keypad if it were free! ;)

    Besides, you could use it to flick channels when you bugger your ordinary remote after flicking through all those quality channels!:D

    When did you ask for it? Was it after the promo was over? I chanced my arm after my post above when the promo was finished... Don't hold much hope though.:rolleyes:

    I asked during the promo..but it did say UK only but I took a chance anyway. Forgot all about it as the promo was so long ago. Tried it out last night...but got "There is a problem with the Yahoo email service please try later" ! Active or what ! The keyboard itself is fairly well laid out and will work as a spare remote if nothing else.
