They're not free. They charge a "set up" fee, aka Sky bloke comes round to your house and plugs the new box in.... hardly difficult, so Sky are charging for the box.

If the box somehow enabled me to watch services on four tvs at the same time (fat chance, I know) then I think the cost is reasonable. But to stream to 4 phones/ipads is costly. It just depends what the capabilities are.
Regardless, like you, I can't afford the £200 either. There was a time in the dial-up days that my phone bills ran up to £200+ per month. The days when I could spend money like water are long gone, but many do have the cash.
