So Sky offering you a new customer a 1Tb box for £149 less than existing customers is a good thing? Seems that VM are not the only ones with skewed pricing. You can't compare the pricing of the latest 1Tb box with one of the older Sky boxes either that are "free" either. My guess is that in a year or so VM will be offering a cut down tivo box free or nearly free as well. They will have to if they are going to move their whole platform over to tivo. p\robably smaller hard drive and less tivo features I would guess.
