Upgrading from Sky to Sky+

Ok, so.....having been away with work and (due to technical difficulties, operator error, and sheer bad luck) missed many of the programs that I like to watch regularly (thus leaving me in the dark and a week behind on most of the stories) I've decide to make the change to Sky+

I've looked on Sky's site and they seem to want £99 for the box and a £60 install fee.

Has anybody successfully managed to negotiate a lower rate with them, either by agreeing to upgrade their package or by asking nicely, or do they tend to stick largely to their guns on that cost?

Anybody managed to get the upgrade for free? If so, what tactics did you use?

I'm thinking I might cancel my subscription completely, wait a few weeks, and then re-subscribe (to get the free installation that they're offering new customers) - has anybody gone down that route?

Cheers
