Waylander Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 not sure when the offer started but it is currently on. Can order online I think they usually charge about £32 for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Any linky? My netgear one packed up and hadn't got around to replacing it - though when I log in to Sky account they want £21 for one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Same here, they want £21 and we have movies etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) My wife forwarded me the Hotdeals UK link and within that was this direct link: http://www.sky.com/quickbuy/deeplink?addToBasket=ANYTIME_BRIDGE_WIRELESS_11N&custype=EC&deeplinkToOrderSummary=true&level2Offer=1MFSKYMOV Here is the HotDealsUk one: Free Wireless Connector to existing customers who ALREADY have Sky Movies - Hot UK Deals I simply logged into my Sky account online, clicked on "my package" and there was a list of things to do such as get one of these free, get Sky Go etc etc. Hope this helps. I ordered mine last night and had the order confirmation through. Edited June 3, 2013 by Waylander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sky for me is a necessary evil as Virgin Media, for whatever reason, doesn't stretch to the end of our road - I think Sky know this so I've no bargaining power despite paying £94.25/month since the introduction of SkyHD! They even tried to charge me for a new HD box last year when my original one packed up, that I did object to strongly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Until Dec I have an abundence of riches as I have Sky World and Virgin both 1/2 price. Problems will arise thereafter as I have set virgin box in the guest room and Sky in the living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 cheers for the links - I've ordered one but did notice in the small print it states its for new or existing customers *adding* Sky Movies pack 1&2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Cheers, ordered one too, wonder if anything will actually turn up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Wow. That process reminds me how much we spend on Sky each month, when you get to the "Check out". I'm not sure I consider it free now. I've no idea what it is I'm getting by the way. I just did it because you said it was free and I felt like being a freeloader.

Tipex Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Me three considering I already have a third party wireless dongle hanging out the back of my Sky box! It just means i'll be able to connect the TV too, I mean, how many different ways of watching iPlayer do I need in one room? Tv Sky box Laptop Phone Playstation Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Mine just turned up, so thank's very much for providing the link and info, much appreciated. Looks like a fairly decent bit of kit, my only criticism would be that it is mains powered rather than USB so needs an extra plug socket, but not really a problem.

bazza_g Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 nicely done cheers too - just got a text saying mine would be delivered today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Mine arrived at an ungodly hour of this morning too. Didn't impress 'er much as shortly after the phone went from work too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Mine arrived on Wednesday. This morning, at 7.02am, I received a text from Royal Mail, saying they'll deliver it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I've had 3 emails, a text, and a letter telling me it would be with me shortly, someone overkill I think. I appreciate good customer service and communication, but that was a bit much I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well I'm now baffled. I have received another parcel. A much smaller one. In it is a wireless adaptor box that looks about the size of an Apple TV unit. So, what the feck is the other wireless box I've received from Sky that is much larger?

M8CKN Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Ordered mine..I love free stuff, especially when its only £96.75p/m!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 These are £21 on the sky site. Inc delivery I think? On eBay they aren't going for a penny less than £30. Baffling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Would this allow me to use Sky Go? Sky box is about 20M from the router / any phone socket.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hunh? Sky Go is watching Sky on your PC isn't it? It will allow Demand on your Sky box - that's what it's for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I thought you could watch what you had recorded onto your Sky+ box anywhere? Probably got that wrong. Basically - will it let me watch Game of Thrones, series 3, whilst in London? (given my main house with Sky is in Bath). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 In a nutshell, no. Sky go allows you to watch Sky Channels on a mobile device, but not recordings you have on your Sky box. This enables the on demand content that your Sky+ box is capable of when connected to the internet. Most popular shows are now available on demand, along with Iplayer, ITV Player etc, and most of the films on box office and the movie channels, as well as a back catalogue of popular stuff, and it's all free (except the box office films).

drpellypo Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Got mine yesterday and hooked it up. Sky box has just got way more useful! But why of why of why does it need to be connected to a phone line to use Sky Store? Surely they can do authentication over the web? So annoying because the phone line is other side of the house and there's absolutely no way I'm letting sky stick a load of metal tacks in my wall and up my door frames. They had done that in old house and it looked horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
