Ditto. To me, the renting of the box is a good thing. The number of old Sky boxes I have had in my time is stupid!
I guess it is all down to personal circumstances again. For me living in a cable area and not planning on moving for years, having a lifetime warranty is an excellent thing. However, if I was expecting to be moving around a lot - perhaps in and out of cable areas - having to rent a box each time I rejoined could be a bit irritating.
For me though, renting is a definite plus point.
