but in all seriousness, what i want to know is that if i have sky plus and upgrade to sky hd, why do i need to pay ANOTHER tenners worth of subscription ontop of the sky + package?
if i get sky plus installed at the other house i can carry on paying the same amount can't i?
well it owuld sem so accroding to whats been written here
or would i be best off canceling the sky subs and starting all over again afresh with the sky hd box? seeing as i've moved in to the house and the previous tenant (my brother) had everything in his name and stuff?
will i get free install?
etc?

That's why a lot of the channels increase in price every year or two, becuase sky have to fork out more money to buy the programmes. For example, sky paid £1,000,000 per episode for Lost!!!!
If you have sky in more than one room, you pay normal price for the main ox, then £10 a month for the second box, with the same channels in both rooms.
that i understand, i had sky luti room at the otehr house and it was an extra tener a month, but now sky have got a little sneaky with the broadband etc and when i unplugged the phone line ot the back of teh sky box to move it around the room, the braodband dissconnected as well, until i plugged the lead in again

my brother has since moved to ireland and i am paying the bills in order for sky not to say he's still got to pay for them until the end of his contract

he's not canclled it, i've carried on paying the bills because he still had 3 months before his year was up, the contract is still in his name but the payments are coming from my account otherwise sky were going to screw him for breaking his contract of a minimum of a year, plus i wouldn't have got the broadband package that goes with it either
which adds another complication to the story, i want to go for the hd package and don't mind paying for the box if the install is free, but it don't look like that is going to happen does it

he's not, he's fucked off and left me to cover all his bills

if it was just a normal box it's definitely free, but you might have to pay for the sky+ one.
thing is, i want to have sky+ at the other house so i want to use the old sky box, so it's just a matter of running a few cables right?
or not?
or can i sly+ the other room and go for the whole sky package from new at the other house?
money money money money
