IIRC customers on the old system of renting the box at £15pm (£5 if on XL) with no one off charge could join new customers and pay a lump sum. This resulted in the rental charge being reduced to £5 (nil if on XL).

I paid £75, but I have a feeling that this was with a 50% off promotion.

I know that many people mistakingly believed that the lump sum meant they were buying the V+ box. In fact I was once actually told this by a CS rep!

Also, I have met a fair few people who believe that the install fee is a purchase of their basic cable STB!
