sky hd_box From now until the end of September, Sky is offering discounts to existing customers wanting to upgrade to its HD service. While the box remains £299, customers can get it for as little as £199, depending on how long they've been signed up for Sky.

If you've been with Sky for up to three years, you get £20 off the box, making it £279; three to six years gets you a £50 discount, and those with Sky for over six years get the box for £199. In each case you also get reduced-price installation, at £30, and the chance to go multiroom with your current Sky box for £10 extra a month.

To find out how much of a discount you can get, have your account or viewing card number ready, and click here.

Wish they'd offer the discount to new customers too, as I'm dying to switch from Virgin Media to Sky HD!

This all seems so very nice, but I am sure that I have heard from a colleague lately that SKY are to introduce a new version of this HD unit. Any comment on this ??

Sky are well practiced rip off merchants.

I asked this very question two months ago and was told there was no chance of the prices coming down so I signed up for Sky + for the next 12 months.

If you have sky+ you can go onto ebay and get a brand new sky hd box for £200. When it arrives simply unplug your sky+ box and plug in your nice new hd box, turn it on and a short while it will have set itself up and all you have to do is upgrade your viewing package. You also save £60 on the instalation!

Andy,

New customers always get much better offers than this, look at the threads on AVForum, is you ar a new customer and want sky HD, you should be able to get it for < £199, and on some occasions even get twelve months half sub thrown in.

But Sky are still rip off merchants,
