I think I'd need to get the streaming service if I was going to get Sky as well - when the roof was redone at my place recently the Sky dishes and UHF aerials were all removed (as I posted in another thread) and the body corporate won't allow them to get reinstated, so it looks like it would be streaming for me, which is a pain - I'd like to have the option of both satellite/terrestrial and streaming.

The UHF antenna can often be reinstalled inside the roof if you still have access.so that may stil be an option.

We've moved house, no dish.  Have been with sky for 7 years now, enquired about a dish install - $199, no movement on fee (I thought it was $100, still expensive).  Out of contract so may just go with the BF offer on SSN and that should do us. 

 

 

 

 

Website says $100, but if you have the new white box you can just use internet connection (wont get the TVNZ channels though) 

 

 

 

 

 

This is super unstable and glitching out as of late. Has been OK until recently.

I think I looked into this but sadly it was a non-starter as it's a body corporate situation and they said to me "just stream what you want to watch".

No, I'd need to get an aerial installer in to do it myself, and as it's outside the boundary of my property I think they would need to be notified. Highly likely that even if they agreed to let me do it I'd have to pay for it myself as well.

Hey all, our 25% off Sky deal is about to expire after 1 year. Will be calling up soon to get a new offer.

 

Has anyone been offered 50% off recently? From above, seems they were calling and emailing former customers with 50% off offers in July last year, not sure if they still are, or if that's exclusively for former customers only.

 

Would be great to hear what they're offering others before I call :)

I have no idea in regards to your question (I'm in the middle of my 12 months) but I'd guess after the 25% 12 months I was offered 20% for 12 months and went with that. Of course other offers maybe around and I look forward to seeing what you can get.

Reporting back. Couldn't get 50%. Was offered a 12 month extension on the 25% though, went with that. 

 

Also free Sky Movies for 6 months, but I think that's because of our extensive bill - all the other main TV packages, a premium channel, and sky broadband to boot.

Went through chat asking for a SSN discount for renewal, no offers available. Will have to sit tight to Black Friday.
