Default Sky - Pay Once, Watch Forever deal

Dixons - Low Priced Electricals

Seems like a good deal. All in for 75 quid plus a free gift too. Over 200 channels. Includes SKYbox, dish and installation.

It's because increasing numbers of channels are heading for freeview.

so its not really free sky at all then. Its a get freeview through a satellite dish, plus a few other things, and also a free trial of proper sky tv.

Still, may be good for some.

£25 extra if you don't want to connect it to a phone line?

Yeah they like to keep tabs on what your watching plus it provides pay per view.

Downside is it can bugger up adsl broadband connections when it dials out.

I looked at SKy a few years ago ..... they wanted my custom so much that they said I could have a free box and dish + installation - but, when they said there was a £25 'connection fee' and I had to connect to my telephone line I told them to stick it.
