    Squeezing Sky for something extra

    my sky subscription has come up for the first year and I want to twist some more out of them. does anyone know how much extra or reductions is normal from sky if any. I would really like a Sky HD but for the price of the box and an extra £10 for 15 or so HD channels is a bit steep i think. and so far all they can offer me is £50 off the box and free installation....(not tempting enough for me tbh).

    my current subscription is:

    all channels mix (no sport or movies)
    Sky+
    16mb broadband
    sky talk and looking to go from BT line rental to sky for £10 as well


    thanks for anyhelp

    I can't wait to be rid of them to be honest - freeview + Windows MCE > Sky HD

    The only decent this is the broadband speed...

    I called them up a few days back and asked them to take off the movies and sport.
    They gave me the whole package including the SKY MAX BB for £30 for the next 6 months
