I don't totally agree with the 'you own the box' argument anymore as once you stop subscribing all you really own is a HD receiver, it ceases to be a PVR. Non PVR freesat HD boxes can be picked up for much less than £100. Then again the standard Sky+ HD box can be free, what I said really only applies to their the 1TB box.

However I do accept a unsubscribed Sky box does hold some intrinsic value though whereas a VM box dosen't.
But they take it back! So you don't own a HD receiver or anything else when you cancel, it's rental equipment, theirs!

Never thought of your point about the Sky box. Good point.
