Here's a breakdown of the deals:

• The Complete bundle (incl sports and movies), 1TB Sky Q box – £30/mth + £20 set-up (norm £80/mth + £20 set-up). It's for 12 months, and then rises to the normal £80/mth so diarise to haggle or ditch to avoid the hike. You'll be able to record three channels while watching a fourth. You get the complete works incl all Sky Sports and Sky Cinema in HD (but not non-Sky premium channels, eg, BT Sport). See full channel list.
  
  

  - Sky Sports 1-5; Sky Sports F1; Sky Sports News HQ; British Eurosport 1 & 2. Shows 126 of 168 Premier League games this season (though no longer the Champions League), all forms of cricket and Formula 1 races, among other competitions.

• The Complete bundle (incl sports and movies), 2TB Sky Q box + watch in 2nd room – £42/mth + £60 set-up (norm £92/mth + £60 set-up). It's for 12 months, it then rises to £92/mth so diarise to haggle or ditch to avoid the hike. You get the same as the £30/mth deal above but you can record four channels while watching a fifth and get access to Ultra HD (4k) content on compatible TVs. Plus you get a mini box to watch Sky in another room but to watch in more than two rooms, you pay an extra £99 per extra mini box.


• Broadband from £5/mth if you take its line rental – not compulsory. Sky charges £17.40/mth for line rental and you can opt for one of its three broadband packages. It's beatable on price (see our Cheap broadband guide) but each Sky Q box acts as a booster for the new Sky Q router only. See full Sky broadband info.
  
  

  - A year's unlimited broadband. It's £5/mth for the entire 12mth contract, it then rises to £10.

  - A year's limited 38Mb fibre, 25GB/mth download limit. It's free for the entire 12mth contract, it then rises to £10/mth. (£39 activation)

  You'll have to pay £9.95 for a the new Sky Q router but this can turn your Sky Q box and mini box into a Wi-Fi hotspot. If you need a new line (or to change from cable) it's £20 for installation.

If you don't want the full shebang, you can pay from £20.40 to remove either sports or movies.

Here are the TV options and prices – all on a 12mth contract. Note: Sky Movies has been renamed Sky Cinema, and the Family bundle has been renamed Sky Box Sets (which includes everything bar sports and movies, incl Sky Atlantic, plus 350 box sets and HD on all non-sports and movie channels):

Quick questions

You needed to grab one of 15,000 codes for this deal, and redeem it by 21 Aug 2015 when this deal ended. It was part of the MSE Big Broadband Switch Event and we featured it in the weekly email on 05 Aug and 12 Aug. If you got it and are having issues, we can try to help. First, here's a summary of the deal:

• Line rental. As part of this deal you had to take Sky's £16.40/mth line rental on a 12-month contract.

• You chose one of the following broadband options:

  - Unlimited 'up to' 17Mb broadband. You got a year's 'free' unlimited 'up to' 17Mb broadband. After that it was £10/mth.
  - A year's 'free' limited fibre broadband, 'up to' 38Mb, 25GB/mth download limit. The price rose to £10/mth after the 12mth contract ended. There was also a £30 activation fee. If you exceed your monthly limit twice within a six-month period, Sky will move you on to the unlimited fibre package at a cost of £10/mth for the remainder of the 12mth contract, and £20/mth thereafter.
  - 12 months' half-price unlimited fibre, 'up to' 38Mb. It was £10/mth for the entire 12mth contract, £20/mth thereafter. There was also a £30 activation fee.

• No calls included. Other calls to UK phones are very similar to BT. If you rack up £100/mth in call charges (even if your account is in credit), you'll be cut off until it's paid off in full, which you must do by either credit or debit card.

• Compulsory new router. It was free but you paid £6.95 for p&p.

• New line cost £20. This applied to anyone reconnecting a line or switched from cable.

Here's how the TV side of the deal worked:

• The Family Bundle. This was 'free' for 12 months, £36/mth thereafter. It included 50+ entertainment channels in HD, eg, Sky Atlantic, Discovery Channel, Disney Channel and MTV, plus access to over 300 box sets. A Sky+HD box was included.

• Sky Sports and Movies. This was half-price for 12 months at £17.25/mth, and £34.50/mth thereafter. You get all Sky's sports and movies channels, but not in HD – see the full list.

  - Sky Sports 1-5; Sky Sports F1; Sky Sports News HQ; British Eurosport 1 & 2. Shows 116 of 154 Premier League games this season (though no longer the Champions League), the Ashes and all Formula 1 races, among other competitions.

  - All Sky Movies channels, incl Premiere, Family and Comedy. Over 1,000 movies on demand, plus the latest Disney releases.

• Compulsory £10 set-up fee. This was unavoidable and applied to all Sky TV packages.

If you're experiencing problems with this deal, please look at the points below first:

• This deal was only open to new customers – those who didn't have Sky and hadn't had it for at least 12 months. If you had Sky TV or broadband, or had had it within the past 12 months, you were counted as an 'existing customer' and won't have qualified for this deal.

• You had to take all elements of the deal to get the discounts. If you cancel or opt out of any element, you'll have to pay the full amounts.

• Some users told us that they've received an email from Sky quoting higher prices than those outlined when they signed up to this deal. Sky's told us this was a mistake and that you wouldn't be charged anything more than the prices shown in our deal. If you were, contact Sky and it should refund the extra as a credit to your account.
