It's has to, same as most consumer electronics, as the cost of
production lowers, so does the amount of potential customers will to pay
premium prices, so therefore price cuts open the technology to the next
tier of customers, but the seller (Sky) does not loose out do to lower
manufacturing costs, and higher yields...

I've been hanging in, for lower prices, and more robust technology,
hopefully it will happen soon (my Sky digibox's RF2 is bust)

£199 plus £1 for installation seems to be common.
