TV Creates Community - Ensure Elderly Loved Ones Keep Sky TV

A recent study by the EU Audiovisual Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee has shown that TV ‘Creates Community’. TV shows, live events, news and televised sports alike offer conversation points for people that help them come together as a community - this is especially true amongst the elderly population.

So, if your parents’ day is brightened up by Only Fools and Horses or Countdown then it’s important to make sure their TV system is covered and that cover offers legitimate, fast and cost-effective support should anything go wrong.

You (and most likely your parents) may be unaware that after the initial 1 Year Sky equipment Warranty expires, the financial responsibility for any repairs or engineer call-outs lay with the Sky TV account holder. Essentially, if anything goes wrong beyond this time - either you or they themselves will have to foot the cost of repairs, or risk los-ing their TV viewing. It may concern you or seem pretty unfair that your elderly loved ones should have the worry about potentially finding a lump sum if there is a problem with the TV system they already pay for, but there is an alternative…

Insurance - The cost effective alternative?

Understanding that many elderly people wouldn’t be able to afford such a sudden and potentially large expense, there are now insurance companies that will offer insurance for you and your loved ones digital satellite (Sky) equipment for a monthly fee.

Be warned though, if you do decide to purchase such protection, it’s vital you only choose a reputable company that is legally entitled to sell insurance. Watch out for ‘Scammers’ who instead try to sell you a ‘warranty’, as often this can be an actual in-surance product they are not legally entitled to sell. Such companies often try to call it something else to avoid being caught by the Financial Conduct Authority who author-ise and regulate all insurance programs. Worse still, there are companies that may try and take your money and never provide a service.

Be Sure, Sat Insure

In contrast, Sat Insure are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide bonafide Sky Equipment Insurance. We are affordable and will allow you to pay a monthly fee so that in the event of a problem with your Sky equipment you can call our freephone number for assistance.

In summary, if you or your elderly loved ones would be at a bit of a loss without Sky TV, it is worth noting that the cost of repairs or replacements is NOT covered under the monthly TV subscription.

Insurance can be a more cost effective solution that offers peace of mind, but do your research and only use trusted, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated insurance companies such as Sat Insure.
