Yes, you need a subscription to maintain much of the core functionality of a box you actually bought!
To clarify, if you want Sky+ without a subscription to Sky TV, it's £199 to buy the box with an additional £10pcm to maintain the recording features, and £30 setup (perhaps more, their website isn't very clear on that). Also, Sky advertise the Sky+ as only being able to store 40 hours of programmes, as opposed to the V+'s 80 hours.
Cost of Sky+, without a Sky TV subscription, over 5 years (199+30+(10*12*5)) is £829!! Non-sub Sky+HD is either the same, or £30 less - again, their website is vague) due to the Sky+HD box also costing £199.
