Can anybody please tell me what the difference is between Freesat (£150 from Sky) and the Sky Pay Once deal (£75 from Dixons)? | ||

My System: TM6800HD+TD110+StabHH90 motor,TM1000D+Orbital 1m Multifeed 16E,23E,28E.DigitAlB movies. A Bigsat BS-S77CX and a Sky Dodgibox. | About 75 quid I would say! Plus with the Pay once offer you get a 2 mix for the first 3 months ( I think those numbers are right). You have to remember to tell them you don't want to continue with the 2 mix otherwise the start charging you the minimum subscription after the intial period. It is a lure, hoping that you will continue subscribing. Having said that, it is obviously a better deal, as long as you remember stop the subscription. Robbo  Edit, its for 4 months and 4 mixes

Blog Entries: 3 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | They want to steal a march on BBC Freesat, as once someone gets a BBC Freesat receiver, they will no longer see the vast array of subscription channels in the EPG, so won't be tempted to subscribe.

My System: sky amstrad and panasonic systems 6 pack setup. two 42cm dishes.just ordered a technomate 6900HD with motorised system one metre dish. also at another address.twin feed static 80 mm dish non digital system. 6 year old dell with server memory 680 of |
i would wait until the FREESAT HD box comes out. i have just signed up with sky for 12 months but will probably buy the FREESAT HD box or a independant one rather than pay £199 to sky for what is a poor box, especially if it is anything like the slug pace/amstrad box yu get when they connect yu up. i am shure there is a better HD box on the market for the same noney or less | ||
