Sky Digital For Nothing?
Created | Updated May 27, 2003
Whether you have it or not, there is something to be said for 500 channels of mindless entertainment, but how did it all begin?
Well...
Back in the early 1980s there were two companies:
BSB - British Satellite Broadcasting, showing Now, Galaxy, and The Movie Channel.
Sky - Showing Sky One and Sky Sports.
Then sky bought BSB out and became BSkyB.
Easy.
http://www.skyride.co.uk being a good site about the merger!
Now for your 13 quid a month you get not 3 channels, but at last count, 518. Wow.
And I have devised a way to get Sky digital for free! Yes, free... here goes...
This requires some maths, so brace yourself...
Sky digital offers a 40% saving on all phone calls to it's subscribers.
Subscribing to Sky costs £40 one off charge for equipment and installation, plus £13 a month.
£13 a month x 12 = £156. Add £40 one off charge, and the grand total for the minimum term of one year is £196.
If you spend £490 on telephone calls a year, then 40% of this is £196, and the saving would therefore pay for the one year's Sky TV.
£490 a year equates to £122.50 a quarter.
Do you spend more that £122.50 a quarter on phone calls?
If so you can get it for free.
If not you can still get a saving...
You spend this much on calls a quarter (£)

You pay this much over a year for sky (£)

sound good?
for more information and full ts+cs etc call 0870 2402000 or go to http://www.skydigital.co.uk and http://www.sky.com
40% saving on phone calls is reliant on 140 being dialled before each call
:) Fun huh?
If you do get it for free be sure to bung me something, my email is [email protected]
