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.
You'll get no argument from me

VM's pricing model is way better than Sky's IMHO and considering the price of the Sky HD box, I think the TIVO pricing is very good value.
