If I get sky Plus will the following costs apply:

£200 for the box and installation

£199 + £1 if ordered before the end of September, yes. From October 1
possibly £50 installation.


£18.50 for the family package with most channels except films and sport

Yes.


£10 sub for sky plus

Hmm. Perhaps go instead for a film or sport package and get the Sky+
sub waived from October 1?


£15 for 2nd sky box for the bedroom

Reduced to £10 and probably negotiable anyway. Installation £25 if
done at the time of installing the Sky+. Possibly negotiable.


I already have to pay Tivo £10 per month!

I fail to see why anyone pays Tivo a monthly fee when the £199
lifetime option is available. I would never have even bought my £99
Tivo had I thought that a permanent monthly fee for use was required.
The same applies to the Sky+, of course.

Its a gamble. I pay the £10 monthly, so far they have had £130 out of me.
However, in another 6 months there may well be something better out there,
sky+ may become irresistible, whatever. Whilst I`m happy with the Tivo, I`m
happy to spend £10 per month for the service. Also remember lifetime means
lifetime of the Tivo itself. My first one lasted just 3 months, it was
replaced, but I doubt that they would replace it again for free.

My Tivo went wrong after 13 months (1 month out of warranty) and for
about £60 they sent someone to pick up the faulty box and deliver a
replacement. The lifetime subscription was then transferred over to
the new box.

I could probably have made a fuss about the box going wrong so soon
after the warranty period, but for £60 I was happy to go along with
the swap out.
