In most cases it is as simple as that, but if your looking at Freesat then you've got to determine if it's the Sky box or the Dish/LNB/Cabling at fault.
If it's the Sky box at fault the just plug in a Freesat box. If it's a problem at the dish end then you'd need to get that looked at first before you can plug in another box as you'll get the same result as you currently have.
For Freeview it's just a case of plugging an aerial into a Freeview box and plugging into the TV.
As for box prices, well for the past 14 years you've been paying £250 each year so IMO paying under £200 for a good Freesat+ or Freeview+ HDR as a one off payment is a bargain compared to what you have been paying.
