You don't own the box so they could say it's full price now or offer a very small discount, like it or lump it.
That's exactly Sky's rationale for such deals, lose money for the first 12 months but make up for it in the following years. The barriers to substituting to a free TV service are now a lot higher as:
1) Sky own the equipment so will want it back; you can't just keep the box to receive FTA channels.
2) The fittings are Sky Q dedicated so you can't just buy a Freesat box and swap it for a Sky Q box.
