So then why is the POWF package so cheap compared to the Freesat ?

Because they want you to try out their subscription channels, in the hope you'll either like them and decide to continue subscribing, or else forget that if you don't phone them after four months, you'll end up subscribing by default - and they won't remind you of that, either.
If you're certain that you don't want Sky's subscription channels, and you would like to future-proof your TV viewing by getting a set-top box that's HD ready or, better still, a PVR like the Sky+ service (except without having to pay a monthly subscription for it), then you would be better looking at 'proper' Freesat rather than Sky's version of it. Sky's version, as you have seen, only really exists so they have your details and can endlessly pester you to 'upgrade'. Sky's version will not give you HD and it will not allow you to watch one channel while recording another.
