Quite probably but then if the box fails you have to sort it out yourself. If you go the DIY route you will still need to get a viewing card paired to it.

Personally if you want to try Sky I would suggest making it clear from the start you are unhappy about the costs and might leave if an agreement isn't reached but like I said it will depend on the agent you get and how far you are willing to push it. With a bit of luck the agent will need to hit their target and will bend a bit, if you are unlucky though you will hit one that has made their targets and are happy to play hardball.

Sky have the fee or line set up as someone can take a free or cheap box and sell it on for a massive gain if there is no way of making sure you know the box is where it is supposed to be.
