Yeah, you normally get the retention offers shortly after giving notice

Sadly loyalty doesn’t seem to count for anything other than the warm fuzzy feeling that you’ve probably been paying Sky too much for too long. You’ll invariably need to play the cancel and renegotiate game to get a better deal.

Whilst technically correct, the law is an ass in this instance because there is no means to prove you’ve actually broken it, therefore it becomes entirely unenforceable. The Capita enforcement goons have absolutely no right of entry to a property, therefore can be politely told to do one.

You should be able to get the same deals as a new customer but you have to play the cancel and wait for the retention offer game. The retention offers normally start arriving a few days after giving notice.

Well, a week into my cancellation my ‘special’ offer arrived. Better than I thought actually and better than my previous deal so I’ve gone for it. Package is for everything except kids (signature, sports, cinema, ultra hd, multi screen, Netflix) Previous deal was £65 a month, which had since...

That’s not a bad deal. I just tried speaking to them and apparently no Black Friday deals available yet £76 was his best price for the full TV package (minus kids and with bundled Netflix), so have to play the cancel and wait for the offer game. My last deal was £64 which I didn’t think was too...

Right, ok. So presumably they’re doing something non standard there too then?

Other than their esoteric DHCP options required for auth, what does their router do that’s special for the internet calling that another decent router wouldn’t do with some config?

That would be far too obvious for Sky. Instead they seem more interested in making their own hideously ugly TV hardware :rolleyes: I’m increasingly believing they’re a dinosaur in the modern world. Clinging on to a failing out of date business model until it’s too late. Sadly I think the...

Yes, similar rises in Nov, but I'm shortly out of contract too, so will have to go through the annual retentions merry-go-round :rolleyes:

Because that is the ‘Sky way’ just as it was for HD back in the day. I view the fee as purely the cost for 4K (as do Sky really hence the name change to Sky Q Experience vs Multiroom), with that bonus that I’ve got a spare mini box sat here if I ever want to use it. There are a couple of other...

Yep, you need both the 2TB box and the subscription.

Yeah, audio sync (especially via HDMI ARC) appears to be a definite Sky Q issue despite in all cases them blaming the TV manufacturers.

PCM 2 channel audio. So no Dolby Digital.

In other words happy to extract more money out of you ;)

I'm assuming that means existing customers who are already out of contract?

I've never really found the storage an issue the entire time I've have Sky Q (since it launched). I don't tend to both deleting anything either - just leave the box to manage its own storage by auto deleting old recordings to free up space, but controlling the behaviour by marking recordings as...

I’d love this too. I find this a huge frustration on Sky Q - it’s a shame scheduled recordings can’t go and grab the UHD on demand episode instead of even recording the HD version - even if it needs to wait until the original program has finished first.

Can't see HLG going anywhere (despite supposedly being designed entirely for live broadcast). Content is king and there is probably too much readily available content in HDR10 and DV for any other standard to succeed. The likes of Netflix and Amazon are in the driving seat here.

HDR10 is the only mainstream and widely adopted standard for HDR, although Netflix also support the technically superior Dolby Vision (HDR+ won't go anywhere). My understanding is that the issue with Sky is of a technical nature being able to encode live broadcast content. Besides, most...
