Sky TV & moving house ?

Question

I am moving to a house which already has a sky dish, as I am a current customer is it as easy as plugging it all in at the new address, or will Sky charge me £65 for a call out just to plug it in ?

Answer 1

Leave Sky connected at your old adress and just simply run an extension cable from your old house to your new house.

Answer 2

why not cancel your old sky and get all the benifits of a new customer at your new address? new box etc... thats what i done. just cancel and say your going traveling and promise to join sky when you get back. then at your new address ring up as a new customer. use your own name they never check. you can sell your old sky box for £20-£30 on ebay or if it's a sky plus box £50-£65 depending on age and condition and get brand new equipment with warranties. i even ripped off the old dish at my new gaff to make sure a brand new one was fitted. you know it makes sense

Answer 3

Just plug it in, you'll have to contact Sky if you want the Sky magazine to go to your new address, and also so they know where to send the bill, but apart from that it should work straight away.

Answer 4

Just plug the dish into your existing box when you move.

Answer 5

They will always try to charge you, I have moved 3 times now and have been charged, I have said I would like to cancel my subscription and then they do it for free - It works everytime, don't pay for it if you don't have to.

Answer 6

I was in the same situation,phone them up and tell them the dish is already there.If they try and charge you tell them you'll go with someone else.It works everytime.

Answer 7

Plug it in yourself
