It doesn't have to be the full package. Just one premium package is sufficient. So, if you just subscribe to Sky Sports but not Sky Movies, there is no monthly charge.
I just ordered Sky+ this lunchtime. A friend of mine who is a current subscriber gave me a voucher to get the Sky+ box for free. I'm a happy Chorus subscriber but can't resist getting a free Sky+ box because I know it's fantastic. I have been keeping my eye on Sky offers over the past few months. Sky+ is usually in or around €20 cheaper on their website than on their flyers. I know last christmas the Sky+ box dropped to something like €69. I'm sure every Sky subscriber gets vouchers every so often to introdue a friend. Ask around.
By the way, you need to subscribe to 2 premium channels in order to get Sky+ for free, otherwise it's €15 a month. If you go with their current offer, you get the full package for €15 for the first three months which entitles you to Sky+ for free for those months.

Its a shame that if you are otherwise happy with Chorus you have to move to Sky to get a PVR (Sky+). By this point Chorus (and NTL) really should be offering these to customers.

The current offer aside, in order to keep Sky+ for free, you have to subscribe to at least 2 premium channels as ribena says.
The "Sports" or "Movies" package includes at least 2 premium channels so just one of those packages is sufficient.
