SKY employees friends and family codes
Has anyone ever used a SKY friends and family code, giving them cheap services for 12 months, from a SKY employee?
I've noticed SKY employees giving the codes out on various forums. I've even seen them being sold on Ebay. I assume SKY won't be happy with this however as I am considering moving to SKY it's something that has got me intrigued.
Like everyone I like a good deal. It's just when something seems too good to be true, it often is.

It's incredible. Some of the prices, with the codes, are simply too good to turn down.
I knew someone who worked at SKY in Livingston but he moved to another job a few months ago There is a guy up the road who drives a SKY van. Maybe I'll follow him to the pub on Saturday and will give him a bit of chat

I dont think Sky will be too fussed about it as it gives them more customers and more customers equals more money. I got my code from a mate i used to work with and he puts it all over Facebook that he has codes available

Muppetman was saying about Money Saving Expert. Look at the below link:
http://www.sky.com/shop/offers/money-saving-expert
Offer only available to the first 2000 customers!
Some of the prices on that page are crazy.

Re: SKY employees friends and family codes
Well turns out my wife's cousin works for SKY! He sorted us out with a code no problem.
Here is the deal:

£71.37 for everything including ESPN and multi-room. If I add Boxnation and Premier Sports I'll still be much cheaper than I pay to Virgin now.
Need to speak to Virgin about leaving before ordering with SKY.

Re: SKY employees friends and family codes
Is your multiroom box the SkyHD (non PVR) ?
Looks a good deal

It's SKY HD without PVR. I can go and play with the options available as I'm not booking until I've cancelled my Virgin package. My promo code is valid until 19th December however I'd like to get this nailed down ASAP.

Not yet. I don't think it's coming to my area until March.

Re: SKY employees friends and family codes
The standard Sky+HD box will offer you 60hrs HD recording , you will also be able to watch your recordings off the Sky+HD box on your non PVR in a future update.

Perfect.
I'm calling Virgin tomorrow to cancel. I'm then going to book with SKY. My promo code ends on 19th December. Hopefully I can book now, and pay my deposit of £10.00 requesting an install date around the 09th of January. Hopefully that shouldn't effect my promo code.
