Default Sky TV have lost the plot
Got interesting letter today from SKY TV, although I ceased to have Sky and any form of television nearly 2 years ago, now just watch dvd's, they informed me that I still owe them the vast sum of 55 pence!. Ironic it will have cost them money to post the letter, they go on to say that they have great offers. I am planning to send them £1, as they are obviously struggling and in dire need of funds, with a very witty letter and telling them exactly what they can do with their offers.

I had something similar with my Dad's NTL TV. Informed them he had died and they sent me the final bill saying his account was a few quid in credit.....which was nice.....no refund though..
The only problem with having an open mind is that others keep trying to put things in it...

Yes they should have refunded you none the less. I think SKY are a sinking ship and rapidly losing viewers. At least with dvd you can collect and watch stuff you like rather than the crap on offer these days.

When my uncle subscribed. I was naive to believe that as you had subscribed the content would be advert free. I've steered clear ever since.

Mr. D.
They are soon to introduce 'long form' adverts with more button pressing bllx.

As long as they have the Premier League football contract people will sign up.

And that's why we've got players being paid £50,000 a week
