The service is free providing you take up a paid television service, otherwise you will incur a ten pound monthly cost. The digibox itself can be obtained free of charge via changing refer a friend offers but otherwise is up to £99 depending on the available deals.
Sky HD+
The final Sky digibox available is the Sky High Definition Plus digital box. The Sky HD digital box is in essence the same as the Sky+ digital box except also includes HDMI and component sockets that can be used with Sky or 3rd party HD channels. This HD digital box is by far the most impressive available and you will pay ten pounds monthly for the High Definition channels (called the High Definition mix) but it is definately by far the best image and audio quality on offer if you have a High definition television.
