...that to be a "Certified Sky Engineer" you have to be rude, unhelpful, messy and incompetent. Don’t be surprised if they ask you to do some of the work yourself, or if they try to charge you extra. The Digibox crashes often and the technical support team are argumentative and lacking in basic knowledge about their receivers. To make matters worse the calls to Sky are charged at 30p per minute (that used to be the rate for writing one Ciao review!). ...
...having your Digibox connected to Sky via the modem for one year. They have not been at all open about the information that they are collecting. They are probably making large amounts of money by selling information about what programs we watch to ad companies who want to run targeted advertising campaigns. This would be okay, if they were up front about what they were doing rather than doing it behind our backs. The Digibox is ostensibly free, but ...

Review of Sky Digital [TV Advertisement]

...over seven years of having Sky Television, my family and I decided to change with technology and convert to the brand new Digital Television which Sky were introducing. This was for a number of reasons. Firstly there was the fact that we were having many technical problems with our old analogue set up, which included poor picture quality. Secondly we came to the conclusion that we would eventually need to change to digital, so it may as well be ...
...offers which Sky provided, we chose a package which gave us all none subscription channels for free, also the Sports package. Also we subscribed to the complete Sky Movies package. The following is the cost of the deal: Set top box and Dish :- FREE Installation :- £40 All channels and sports package :- £27.00p a month Movies package :- £5.00p a month After having Sky Digital for around ten months now, I have found it to be very impressive. ...

Review of Sky Digital [TV Advertisement]

Sky have produced an excellent service and really led the way in digital broadcasting. Sky digital is easy to use, thanks to the cleverly laid out on screen menus and remote control. There are a number of channel packages to choose from to suit your needs. With about 190 channels and more coming all the time, and about 90 Box office channels. There is an interactive section where you can shop, send e-mail and even play games. The only negative things ...

Review of Sky Digital [TV Advertisement]

For a £40 installation fee, Sky digital has to be one of the best buys around just at the moment. For existing Sky subscribers the monthly charges are about the same, so there really is no reason not to upgrade. For me the main benefit as not been the new channels but the amazing increase in picture quality. I live in an area where the quality of terrestrial TV is patchy, so the perfect Sky Digital picture is a major improvement. 'Open', the interactive ...
...Box, Kiss...you can always find a good song on one of them and the sound is CD quality. Overall, I have been delighted with Sky Digital and with the new interactive services on Sky Sports and Sky News this can only get better. You'd be mad not to upgrade. ...

Review of Sky Digital [TV Advertisement]

I've had Sky Digital for about almost a year now, and I must say they are probably the best service around, excellent choice and good value. The only snag is that installation can be a nightmare if they don't get it right. Make sure you ring them a week ahead of the installation to confirm the date, and perhaps again the day before. I spent 5 whole working days, waiting for appointments that weren't kept. In all of the cases there was a subcontractor ...
...it, even though they booked it themselves (I contacted them directly). Any complaints you are asked to put in writing, and send to their correspondence unit, which doesn't seem to correspond very much (my first 2 letters were ignored, and a third got a patronising response). Only after a letter to the Managing Director did I get some results. The whole process took years off my life. As I said, once installed the product is great, and they know ...
