Well, bizzare to me anyway.
My Sky TV finishes on 11th Sept but I am keeping my Sky Fibre and landline.
Received a letter this morning offering Free Sky+ HD functionality after I leave TV and Sky Unlimited Braodband for £17.40 a month. Thought I would call and check that my change is happening and what I would be left with. TV support said I would have full box functionality after the 11th but would need to talk to broadband about the £17.40 (I currently pay £21 for fibre unlimited and landline)
Called CS and they told me that the offer meant going back to copper unlimited to get Sky+ HD functionality. Why would I go backwards in technology even if it saved £4 a month to copper. 10meg instead of 36meg. What a strange "package".
Having Sky+ HD functions like pause would be nice but I'm not going to lose any sleep not having it. Eventually I'll get a Freesat if I can find a G2 box or a Freeview PVR anyway but I would have kept the Sky box if I could still have used what I've already paid for... instead of a box that half works.
I get Sky's view of this, I think its fundamentaly flawed and disables a PVR, but thats their choice. About time they dropped it. I paid for my box from Sky so just as a matter of principal its wrong to me. But there you go. My point is the strange offer if I go back in time
