If you supply your own box, they aren't going to repair it.[COLOR="Silver"]
Which is actually my point. With VM, you do pay, but repairs are included as long as you are subscribed to the service. With Sky, you have the upfront cost of the box. You also pay a subscription for the service, but you do *not* get free repairs beyond the warranty.
