Only partly true... should the Sky box fail within the first 12 months, then Sky will replace/repair it free of charge. You would only incur any fee should the digibox fail outside of this 12-month period. Also, the reason Sky would charge you for any faults is because the digibox is yours to keep after that initial period.
Saying that, I know people that have spoken to Sky about a fault with their satellite receiver outside the 12-month period, and Sky have fixed the problem free-of-charge. So, this charge is not necessarily set in stone. If you know how to handle yourself, you can get away with a lot

Incidentally, just for the record, I made the switch to Sky for tv service, and BT for phone line, after having some problems with NTL. I kept the broadband, however, because I don't think that ADSL can really compete with cable broadband (at least not in my area where 2mbit/sec is the fastest speed I can get via ADSL).
