How cheap do you expect them to be then?

At the moment in France the Sagem SD MPEG-4 set-top box can be rented from
Canal+ at ¤8 a month (it costs around ¤350) along with a subscription to the
OTA pay TV service.

I don't see why the HD version of this would be any cheaper to start with,
especially considering that HD MPEG-4 satellite receivers seem to start from
¤350.
