    About €90 for a proper Freesat HD box.
    No subscription.

    An out of sub Sky box is "crippleware" these days. 10 years ago it made sense.

    I bet if you have a sub less that 10% of viewing is pay Tv!

    Yeah we have a sub with Sky for the sitting room, I'd say 95% of of my viewing is actually the paid channels :p

    If you watch an average of 4 hours a day that would be around 1.5 hours of BBC in the week. Even if you had them on HD all the content is not in HD. Like BBC News skype reportage or BBC 4 showing 1970's Top of the Pops.

    So you don't really need them:)
