I think it's a bit bloody cheeky of them to offer new customers (therefore lots more work - installing a dish, drilling holes etc.), and charge existing customers twice the amount. That's just money-grubbing, surely? What is the insentive for existing customers to upgrade (ie. give Sky more money!) when they are charging so much more? I don't even really care about the HD channels, I just want the box so I can record TV. I have a DVD Recorder, but it incredibly loud, and a right nightmare if I want to do anything with the programs I've recorded (it insists on converting several files into 1 .VOB file, which I then have to upload to my PC, and mess about chopping up and converting to a normal format!)
If I have to pay £60 installation, then £10 for channels I don't want, I won't bother. I mean, 4-6 months into the contract, I would have saved up enough money to get a better, quieter, more user-friendly DVD recorder.
In fact, screw it, that's what I'll do anyway.
Thanks for the info
