Apparently this is because the HDTV box has a 160GB hard disk drive and
Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.


If you pay £299 for the box then you have to pay the monthly HD sub.
If you want the recording functions then you have to pay another £10
per month, though this is waived if you also subscribe to premium
channels.

If you pay £399 for the box then you don't have to pay either monthly
fee and can receive the BBC HD service, though without the £10
recording sub you wont be able to use the recording functions.

The DD5.1 is free.

Which gives you access to HD channels and content not available anywhere
else (UK programming, in English, legitimately)
It isnt *just* for the box...

You also have to pay a regular Sky sub for this. The total cost is
enormous.
