£200 for a box that you have to hand back if you leave Virgin?
If you buy a HD box from SKY it is your property and they only support it for free for one year after which you have to add an insurance subscription to your package which can be around £10 per month.

You only lease the box from Virginmedia and as it always remains their property they provide free service engineers and even replace faulty equipment for whole time that you are a subscriber.

You are paying the £200 to be one of the first to have such a box in your property and the customers that get this box will have the bragging rights sewn up.

It is your money and you can choose whichever provider you prefer but if both are available to you then I would vote with my wallet every time.
