    Just in addition to the ROI price rise, the UK is having one too -

    ===================================================
    Installation Offer - Terms and Conditions
    If you choose to subscribe to Sky digital for at least 12 months, standard
    installation costs £50 if you select Sky World or £70 if you select any
    other package. If you don't subscribe it will cost £100.
    If you end your subscription contract, or otherwise break the terms of it,
    in the first 12 months of your subscription, you will be liable to pay to
    Sky the balance between what you have paid for standard installation and £100.
    ===================================================

    To get this offer you need to have your set top box connected to a phone line - or so I believe
    What's that about?

    Because much of the UK subsidy cam about from the fact that Open... (the interactive service provider, now owned by Sky) wanted people to be hooked up to the phone line so that they could use their service and make them money. If attaching the phone line was optional then most people wouldn't do it. Open... Interactive services don't work in ROI so the subsidy is instead funded by an Eircom/Sky combination - the former taking part because if people get cable they will not want to make calls with eircom any more...
