Sky+ still has the £10/month sub if you don't subscribe to premiums...same as always.
Rumours abound that's it's going to be scrapped completely though.

I know people who've phoned up Sky, & simply threatened to leave for cable if Sky don't fix the STB for free, & got it sorted.
Also, would you be able to use the good old Sale of Goods Act or one of the other relevant consumer laws for something like that? Seeing as things like 12 month manufacturer warranties are in addition to your statutory rights as a consumer, & if something breaks down, within a reasonable period (up to 6 years depending on what it is), then it's up to the seller/supplier to sort it out for you.

You can flash it with different firmware.
Also possible to extract the ADSL username/password from it, & then use a different router of your own choosing.
I'm still using the Sky one at the moment, although it does seem to enjoy rebooting.
