Oh and it's not a purchase, it's an upfront rental fee......

It's great value for money if these are things you want. If you are happy with what you have then it doesn't matter what the upfront fee etc is.
Exactly!

VM's pricing model (and I'm not going to enter in to an argument here!) is totally different to Sky's.

Sky sell you the equipment and it's yours. Sky have got a portion of their cost to them back straight away (£250 for a 1TB box)... if anything goes wrong after the 12 months then it's up to you to pay for repairs/replacement. or pay Sky's warrenty.

With VM, they ask you to pay an upfront rental fee to cover a portion of the cost. If anything goes wrong EVER while you are a customer then you get repairs and a replacement Free for life. Plus any subs refunded for the days without a service.
