Even if it didn't have all the bells and whistles it's still very, very competitive. I understand you are tied to a high sub and there's the £3 a month charge but have a look in Argos at the cost of far lower capacity Freeview kit, they are miles more expensive.
Or more pertinently the price of Sky's 1TB box, all you are paying for is the larger capacity and once you stop subscribing it has the same functionality as a free Sky box.
Each to their own I suppose, I know you don't own it but I have come to the conclusion that argument is only valid for Freeview/Freesat PVR's which you buy, once you stop subscribing to Sky all you have is a FTA receiver despite the 1TB HDD.
I accept it has a resale value though. Your choice.

I guess it is a good price. My sister bought a 1TB sony Freeview HD recorder for £320 online. When you think a new VM Tivo customer will pay £189 for the box £40 for the install and £3 a month to use it....ACTUALLY Theres not a lot in it.
But then I guess the VM customer gets lifetime repairs. My sis will get hers covered by house insurance.
