    Hi all,

    Just had a call from SKY - they are offering me half price movies and sports for 3 months, they say it works out at €5 per week.

    What do you people think of this offer?? is it worth it? Is there decent sports on or movies shown to make it worthwhile??

    From your experience with SKY, if you want to take up this offer is it hard to cancel it once the three months is up??

    The offer they are giving you is normally €41 per month for all Sports and Movies on top of your basic sub. The value of it is relative. Personally I think Movies is really good at the moment. I don't have much interest in the Sports ( except darts...sometimes ) so I can not really say.

    It's a matter of taste and whether you think yourself it's worth the extra €5 per week. To see what's upcomming just go from 301 upwards and have a flick through the next seven days and see what you think.

    I had free upgrade to sky world for two months, they had it switched off within minutes when I rang them at the end.

    I got this last year and ended up watching one movie and two matches over the space of 6 months or so......definitely wasn't worth it.

    They rang today so I've opted for the Half Price Sky Movies.

    I have to keep it for a minimum of 30 days and then after that I can cancel at any time.

    Just be carefull of keeping track of when the three months is up. You don't want to get caught for full price of the package when the offer is over.

    How long before the 3 months should you be canceling the package so your not charged full price for a another month?

    i got a call today offering the same except the girl said it worked out at an extra 2euro a week??

    anyone else get that offer?

    The girl on the phone said I can phone anytime before 15th April to cancel, but just to avoid any costs on the next months bill - cancel by 9th April.

    Think she worked out Movies being an extra €3.50 or so per week.

    My housemate signed up for the movies for an extra €3 i think. The thing is though, last night we seemed to have every single movie channel, but now today we only seem to be able to watch SkyFamily, Sky MdnGreats and Sky Classic, and up until an hour ago wee had Sky Screen 1 but now thats gone away too. Anyone know what the deal is with that?
