I believe it would be a much more viable 'weapon' against Sky if it didn't carry this extra monthly charge.

As muppetman mentions when he made that post more than 56% believe they pay enough already and that is in a forum of tech fanatics. I would be surprised if much of the general joe public would be willing to fork out the monthly fee as well as the initial outlay.
That is a very valid point! I understand what you mean in regards to Joe public and why will they need to pay the £3 charge, So they maybe looking in to this ( As it has been stated they are looking at lower HDD drives in the boxes ) and also moving all customers over to TIVO.
Here is what I think may happen:
1TB BOX = £3PM ( with all the bells and whistles )
500GB BOX = £2PM ( with some of the above )
250GB BOX = £1PM ( with no bells just whistles )
NO HDD = £0 ( with just the UI )

Just a thought?
