Current total price for Freesat HD recorder & install at Argos is £401.28

I'd say Sky need to sell the recording option for £200 or less, as they still have you as a possible Premium orderer or returning subcriber. Alternatively, if they made it free after 2 years of subscription.
Yeah, its an interesting option. At the moment i'm inclined to go with this Sky HD offer for 2 months and then just go down to the free-to-air channels as they offer me FREE channels that i actually want to watch, which Freesat do not provide.
