Reduced Sky packages from July - just in case you did not know - includes existing customers too!   
from digitalspy.......
Sky will drop the price of its Sky HD box next month as part of a rebranding 
exercise designed to more closely tie its high definition PVR product to the 
long-standing Sky+ name.

Sky HD, for which boxes currently cost between £199 and £249 with a Sky HD 
subscription, will be known as Sky+ HD from July 1. At the same time, the 
cost of a new box will be dropped to £150, the same as that charged for a 
standard definition Sky+, when taken with the £10 per month "HD mix", the 
new name for the Sky HD subscription package.

Sky+ HD boxes will continue to cost £399 each when purchased without 
subscribing to the HD mix.

Pricing for a standard definition Sky+ box will also be altered, with a new 
box costing £150 for new and existing customers except where it is taken 
with multiroom or broadband services, where the price of a customer's first 
Sky+ box will drop to £75.

Sky+ standard definition boxes purchased without a Sky subscription will 
continue to cost £199.

Sky has made a concerted effort to push the Sky+ brand in a major outdoor, 
television and online campaign featuring a variety of celebrities, including 
Sir Michael Parkinson, explaining how they use its personal video recorder 
functionality.

All very well dropping box prices but subscriptions are going up.
