remember sky has vod in the garage getting a engine built, so tive will have a more improved sky plus to contend with

One of the reasons TiVo failed was due to it's poor marketing and complexity to use (at the time). Sky+ was very simple and basic and when launched people didn't really understand PVRs and so anything complex was doomed to fail.

Sky understood it's market and was successful with the Sky+ and TiVo pulled out of the UK market.

That was then (getting on for 10 years ago) and the world is a very different place. TiVo coming back (and to virgin) can only be a good thing as Sky will now have to accelerate its program to develop their PVR software.

Didn't Sky do Tivo's marketting? Then they decided to launch Sky+.
