If I cancel sky...

[Binglebong]

...will I still be able to access the things I've recorded on my sky q box? Can't really afford the price increase but have loads recorded.

Thanks

Nope xxx

nope unless they are on the free channels like bbc 1

Thanks. Bugger.

They will ask you to send back your equipment too of pay a fine. :(

Damn. Can you use the sky q while I wait for broadband connection (the recorded bits)? Also koving house in the middle of this!

I think you can keep your equipment if you change to Freesat. You pay them pay £25 for the viewing card to go in the box and no monthly bills after that. www.sky.com/shop/freesat/home/

This is all such a pain. Only expecting to be in the house six months so it will make contracts really difficult.

I'm pretty sure when I changed from sky+ to sky q there was something in the contract about the q equipment only being in loan and still belonging to sky so it has to be returned if you finish your contract? Worth checking into...

Sky q boxes are only loaned so you will have to return it. Sky plus you owned the equipment.

Why don't you just remove one element of your package (movies/kids/sports etc) to make it affordable.

Also, are you currently on a contract or month to month? Always go onto a contract as theres always at least 50% off codes floating about, i don't know anyone who pays full price for Sky

We're on the bare minimum lazy - just TV and broadband. No extras at all. And we are on contract - and didn't pay full price!

I read yesterday that you can cancel without Early Termination Charges on Broadband within 30 days of receiving notice of the price increase as per Ofcom regulations. If it’s a package with the tv you may be able to use this info to get out of both.

My sky's only gone up £3 a month how much has yours gone up?

So basic TV and broadband on a contract must be about £20-£25 a month?

Mine is only going up by £3 a month, how big an increase are you getting?!

Have you called them to ask what you can do? We've always found we've been able to negotiate some kind of deal with them.

I didn't have to send anything back. They kept sending me deals though so we hung out and got it for quarter of the price we were paying

Doesn't help with your sky q, but we stayed somewhere for 3-4 months between selling and buying a property and used now tv - they offer contract free broadband and tv. It was significantly cheaper than sky (we were only on the basics with sky too). Our contract had finished though.

With now tv can you record programmes?

Have just cancelled the whole of our sky tv package. We have kept calls and Internet and have saved ourselves over £100 per month 😱
The problem with sky is the price increases might only be £3 or 4 each time but these mount up over time.
Our IP TV subscription costs £70 per year 😄
