Yup, that is the jist of it.
Which is why if I were in your shoes I'd either call it quits and go buy a freesat recorder, OR, go for the £16.50/month choice - get the Variety pack and you'll get more than you do on freeview. Personally, I'd also tick the knowledge mix aswell, because, if I'm honest, that is all I really watch out of my £46/month Sky subscription.
