A difference is that Sky's home equipment isn't connected to their network. If it goes funny it's not going to damage any other Sky equipment and unless it goes really nuclear isn't going to affect other Sky customers. With our service you are connected to our network and if the box starts sending crud back upstream it can affect others. Hence we really need to keep tighter control on what gets attached.
