Sky Plus (Sky+)

We had sky+ installed last month, after recommeding my parents to sky and recieving a free sky+ box! Now I have to grumble a bit, because they said 'free' sky+ box, but actually we had to pay £60 installation fee (I think thats what it was). We had to wait for over a month for an engineer appointment (as they are so busy with the digital switchover apparently) but eventually our appointment time came around. Our engineer was on time, polite and worked quickly. He didn't even mind having a bunch of hungover people in pyjamas question him about how it works and looking over his shoulder constantly! Now that the box is installed I couldn't be happier! I never ...  Read the complete review

Last summer, me and my hubby were watching TV. when an advert came on offering a free sky plus box to new customers. My hubby was quite annoyed at this, as he had been a loyal sky customer for the last 15 years. So with my encouragement, he rang up the sky office and told them he wanted to cancel his sky account. When They enquired why, my husband explained that he felt cheated that they were only offering the free sky plus offer to new customers. He was then transferred to another department. After a detailed discussion the sky representative asked my husband if there was anything they could do that would make him stay, to which my hubby replied,"yeah, give me the ...  Read the complete review

As daft as it may sound, Sky Plus has actually improved my social life. The reason being that I used to often stay in to watch my favourite programmes rather than going to the pub with my mates simply because I didn't want to miss them. Since the introduction of Sky Plus though, I have found that I can record my programmes and still go and have a few drinks! It is so easy and quick to use as well. All you have to do is find the programme you wish to watch on the planner and press the record button and your programme is set up to record. Long gone are the days when you had to record on video and type in a big long number! If you have heard about a programme you ...  Read the complete review

As sad as it sounds, Sky+ changed my life! I rememeber when Sky first brought out this digital recorder and sky receiver in one, my husband and I talked for ages about upgrading our current Sky package, however with me pregnant and due to take maternity leave, it was an expense we couldn't justify at that moment in time. I think it was £99 for the new box, £49 for installation and an extra £10 a month on top of the current sky package price. A few months down the line, we had a promotional call from Sky, offering us a package at a (very) reduced rate, we paid £49 for the Sky plus box with free installation and no additional charge on our monthly ...  Read the complete review

I have had my sky+ fitted about 2 months ago now and it has made such an impact on me that i felt the need to share my experience with others. The day it was fitted i was unlucky enough to get an older model of sky+ box which really annoyed me as it did not have the 160 hd or the anytime feature, which i will tell you about later. Anyway i left it about a week and i rang up sky and said the box was freezing up and shutting down at random times, and considering i had only had it a week i was not best pleased. They were really helpfull and said they would send an engineer out as soon as possible, 4 days later and an engineer came out, he took one look at the old ...  Read the complete review
