Wait till you can use the iOS app been using the US one for a while this makes using the TiVo even easier. Text entry is a breeze manage season passes and you recording list is far easier.

Both will be connected allowing you access to on demand and streaming services. In other words they'll do what TiVo is already capable of AND has been in this country for over a year now, but have fewer linear channels and no wishlists and suggestions. TiVo is already streets ahead of things that haven't even been launched yet.

BT Vision is a connected product as is Sky+HD granted you need an Internet connection but both provide a decent service. I'm not sure how much of a seller apps on pay TV is , certainly some apps add to the experience however they are mainly video content in my opinion and are becoming widely available on a multitude of devices such as connected TVs , connected Blu Ray , PS3 , XBOX 360 , Wii , Roku , Apple TV subscription free. Apps such as Twitter , Facebook seem pointless on TV when they take over the full screen.
