Certainly with the current contracts the Equipment is loaned to you and they want it back if you cancel your subscription.
I see the Blu Ray version is £9 on line, so yes £13.99 is way to much for a standard definition DVD copy.0 -

I've only used the Sky Store when I've had a free offer -and I've taken the DVD as I can make my own digital copy from it.0 -
Does it really say 'digital only' and nothing else, like 'download only, no burning possible'? If it does, someone might want to tell Sky that DVDs have have been digital from their beginning, so it would include DVD versions.0
