Sky plus for £49

Found this on a web forum. Could be worth a try to get Sky+ at a discount.

"Sky don't advertise this but they actually provide sky+ box for £49 incl installation if you threaten to cancel your subscription - but only if you call 08705 488485.

Use any other number and they will just fob you off. If you say you know someone who got the same deal recently, they can hardly say know.

I got this deal a month ago and phoned them yesterday on behalf of a friend and got it for £65.

It's all a bit pot luck - the more boxes they have in stock, the more likely you are to get it for £49.

If you say you're going to cancel and swap to a rival cable company (which is what I did), they really don't like that and you'll almost certainly get the deal.

Their standard response is to offer it to you for £99 - then £65 - then, if you're lucky with timing, £49.

Give it a go - you have nothing to lose. Lay it on thick that you want to stay with Sky but cable is cheaper all round."
