Yes if you buy the box from sky you do own the box including the costs for any replacement repairs if it goes wrong outside the warranty period! With vm there is a one off charge which includes repairs/replacemets for as long as you have that box,no extra warranty to pay ect ect,so overall a one off fee is not too bad for what you get in return.
I paid a fee of £75 for my v+ HD box had it nearly 3 years and i have no costs to pay if it breaks down to me that is good value.
The same logic i would apply to the upcoming TiVo box.With an expected 1TB space and all its features.
