The basic Sky+ box is now £99.

Sorry Chris if i am being thick, but what would the £5 be for? A one off fee? A monthly fee? If it's a monthly fee, is it in addition to multiroom or instead of multiroom? I guess i am just not getting that bit.
If they see i have 2 STBs already, you think they will send me a second one, waive the £75.00 charge, and collect the spare one i would then have?
I agree about the £99 though. I've been looking at Sky online and the Sky+ is as little £99 for a box you own. I don't mind paying the £75 though, it's the £10 every month forever that i object to.
Take an example over 3 years. You expect most electrical goods to last that period of time. Sky has a one off charge of £100. Then if you have sports and/or movies, you don't pay anything else. With NTL, there is potentially a £75 install fee and £360 of monthly fees for the 3 years.
Does nobody else think this doesn't make good economic sense???
