Default Sky pay £99 when its free

I see the new ad for Sky just out,stars Sir Mike Parkinson, the ad reads
pay only £99 for a Sky+box, and subs start at £16.

Until June 21st this Sky+box is free of any charge to new customers
suppose the £99 is to pay parkies fee,

What a shambles, typical Sky, one set of ads its free,another says
pay £99.

Local retailer ad in this weeks free paper; installation from £30, Sky+ box £19.99.

Guess Sky are trying to achieve a large user base of "subscribed recording" units before Freesat PVRs reach market.

Another Sly mail out to SWMBO,this time they want £30 fitting,last one
said fitting free,note the £60 weekend fitting this time.
In Wrexham last week Sly,said free fitting at the roadshow,just pay a sub.
So many Sly offers, nobody knows the fee.

It is unfortunate that the wife binned her mail out free sky+ & free fitting two months ago,I should have photo'd it and put it up, I have posted the latest offer she had on saturday, Free Sky+and fitting for £30.link 6 above

Ask the Sky Regional Manager about the road show in Wrexham,where
the reps were offering FreeSky+, and free fitting, they all know whats
going on or are mushrooms.
