When we left Sky they basically told me to sign up to NowTV & Sky cinema monthly which I've tried to walk away from a few times and they always offer you a massive discount.
Our local Whsmiths has the NowTV boxes for £12.50 - all have a pass for either Sky Movies, Entertainment and Kids - 2 months for the former and the latter two for 3 months. Buying a box is cheaper than the 3 month pass...
@Scotroutes - Do you need to reset the geographical zone of your TV? Maybe in a menu? Or get it to look for updated channels?
@TroutWrestler = tried that but it only has "United Kingdom" 🙂 I'll muck about with it a bit more if I have to but I was hoping the Sky box might still give me the free channels even when my sub has ended.
It will do.... it just won't pause/record. I would have thought that your TV should work OK though - may take a little fiddling.
We're 10 days in and not missing Sky one bit.
Everyone who is hoping to get a better deal from retentions should login to their Sky Account BEFORE TERMINATION and tick the boxes that allow them to contact you via email/phone etc. It is no good waiting for them to contact you with a better deal if you have forbidden them from contacting you for "sales" reasons.

I can’t speak for others but I started the thread and I cancelled Sky because I don’t want to pay for a TV service we barely watch.
I’m happy to let them call me and make me an offer to stay but short of them giving me the TV for a fiver a month i’be no desire To sign back up.
This thread prompted me to contact Sky this morning and tell them I was going to cancel.
I have been with them for ages, too long really.
The guy in the Retentions Team was very pleasant and came back with some good deals, but they just weren't good enough. So, I instructed them to go ahead with the cancellation.
Let's see if they come back within else in the next 31 days. If they don't then I will be looking at alternative streaming subscriptions and saving myself some money as well.
