Never understood Sky's stance on this. By all means provide the router, even only provide support to people using it if you must, but don't actively prevent people from using something else. This was always my problem with the SH when it lacked modem mode - how arrogant to suggest that your router will be sufficient for everyone's needs.
I used the HH3 with my Infinity connection up until about 2 weeks ago as I was struggling to get the port forwarding to play ball. Now I'm using a WNR3300 with DD-WRT and a gigabit switch. I've got the flexibility to use what I want after the OR modem, as it should be!
