Freeview recorders / Returning to Sky from Virgin

What is the price of Sky Original ? At the moment, I'm paying £10 with a 50% discount and notice that when the other packages went up, in the summer, Original stayed at £20. The website still quotes £20, but the emails offering 60% off quote costs 'from £9', £9 being 40% of £22.50.
