At the end of 2010 we hit our 10 million customer target so now Skys focus is now turned to customer retention, hence why you got the upgrade!
FSD systems helped them hit that mark

Ok ... It's not really worth selling at £30. What with the hassle of eBay as well.
I will stick it in the loft

You'll get a good price if you ship it to Spain - expats love them as some of the the freesat HD channels are on easier to recieve channels compared to some of the SD ones (pesky 2D horizontal).

I've seen ancient SD Sky+ boxes go for £50 a pop.

mmmm that's not right then! Is there deffo a cat5 cable going from your HD box to your Sky router? If so give them a call as something's amiss! Obviously Anytime+ is free so when you look at the bigger picture you do get a lot for your money, especially when you bring Sky Go/player, remote record and My Sky Rewards into the equation!

And you say they are working on customer retention
They have the better product by a long way and use that to there advantage as they know you won't walk

Really sorry to hear that, that's unacceptable! Have you got it now or have you cancelled? If you have cancelled I'm sure I can find one of my colleagues who have a spare friends and family offer code to give you any package half price for 12 months to try and rectify our f**k up!

I get my subscription free but have to buy my boxes, I take it you lot missed my thread a couple of weeks ago in the general forum, I was giving out 12 months half price subs with free box and installation! About 14 Subaru owners are now very happy Sky customers!
