Default Sky Box office

Have had 4 or 5 films and we havent been billed for them, normally they collect money with some speed so whats happening ?

Can I just order the films with impunity or are they going to catch up !

We are on the 20 quid package and pay it by direct debit, its been three months or so since the first fiolm but the DD hasnt changed.

Am I being stupid/missing something here ?

Yeah but do those who get them free have a way of actively getting them free ?
i.e. dodgy Sky cards and pc's doing the decryption.

I am happy to pay for them even though it is a bit pricey it avoids a trip to the video shop, on the other hand I pay them 20 quid a month for several hundred channels of adverts with the occasional programme squeezed in so I dont feel too guilty !

bro, before u get trigger happy ordering movies that u think will be free, be careful.

about 3 weeks ago i got a bill thru and got charged for two box office movies i ordered back in january and february 2003 (i.e. 18 months ago)!! they might be VERY slow, but they do catch up.

Try a search for the 9 volt battery and two wire trick for free movies.

Thats crap, 3 months !

I wasnt going to start hammering because most are crap or have seen them anyway, when they do bill me I shall ring them and tell them to get their act together, I mean why should it take 3 months to bill these days.

Doesn't the battery trick only last until you've built up a bill of £50?

the battery trick only works unitl you fill the slots up on the card (about 10 i recall). you need to have the phone cable unplugged - but if you are out of the 12 month contract this doesn't matter. if you do plug it back in tho expect to be billed for the movies.
