You'd think so, wouldn't you, but we *are* talking about Sky!

Not a rental - sold at a subsidised rate, and guaranteed for a year.

And people moaned about the TV licence going up by a tenner!  I now pa= y =A3660 a
year for Sky and Tivo. Grrrrr.

I don't get this!

Surely if the box is being provided by Sky under the contract it is
effectively a rental and therefore it's up to them to maintain it? Of
course, the dish getting storm damaged is a different story but I would
have thought that the actual equipment would be down to Sky, after the
year you could always cancel the agreement then take out a new one ;-)
