Sky TV Help

The sky channels are now just a blue screen, took the card out and cleaned it, still the same, the sounds okay I can here whats happening. its not the telly as tried the freeview and working perfectly. any help appreciated thanks.

 

Try a different scart cable murph or see if the current one is loose

 

So ur watching a blue, I'll get my coat

 

Turn the tv off and pull all the plugs out for about five minutes and try it again then.

 

Switched it off at mains, left it for a couple of minutes and hey presto, why didn't I just try that anyway. DOH

 

Their machines tend to overheat every so often and need to be unplugged for a few mins, from time to time ... bit of a pain.



Oh, btw while we're on the topic of Sky TV ... if you phone them up and tell them you are considering cutting back your subscription package due to finances, you should get a discount for the next 6 months

(thankfully, they tend to do this from time to time and are doing it at present)

 

Do UPC do that too by any chance?

 

I'd imagine so mate.

Give them a bell and let them have the sob story, if that ain't working then tell them what a wonderful offer you have from Sky if you cancel with UPC and go to them etc (no need to get into the fine print, other than it's cheaper, better value etc).

It seems to me everyone is doing what they can to keep customers these days.

Setanta were offering me another 3 months half price to stay with them when I recently went to cancel, though having considered it I still cancelled as they are still far too expensive in general (given the lack of footie).

 

Cheers mate, will do. I'm on a monthly rolling contract with them now, as I've completed my years obligation. I get my internet off them too, might chance my arm.

 

... just don't box yourself into a corner mate, worst that can happen is you get nowhere, but if you just keep playing the violin in the background, you should get sorted.

Good luck with it mate

 

Done this about a month ago and got 25% off for a year..

 

Nice one, you did better than me.

Out of interest, did you have the full package from them, movies and all ?
- personally, I don't have the movies, but had everything else.

 

For the last 2 years I have the full package for half price 38euros they give it to me first for the year when that was up I asked could they do the same again they said no so I told them to cancel after there 30 days notice on the last day someone rang and offered it at me at half price for 6 months I done it again last time same offer again don't be afraid to treaten them

 

Nice ...

Hopefully others here will get better deals than the recent one I got this time around, so.
