Sky don't rent equipment. Sky has never been a rental service. Cable is a rental service.

Why can't people understand this basic fact? If you rent something, you do not pay for the entire cost of the rental equipment upfront.
And you're not paying the entire cost of TiVo. The monthly cost is for the channels/VoD provided.

The bit you are missing in your argument is.... how does the equipment get paid for? Someones got to pay for it. You can't get it from monthly subs as it would make it way too expensive.

Pay it and get the service or don't pay it and get nothing. Simples!
