An to be fair before this becomes fact, the only source we have that VM can't stream recorded Sky content between Tivo's is.........well.............me

Re: TiVo Communication

it makes sense that virgin would not go all out with the TiVo features. they will slowly introduce new features to keep it fresh

He might be making an assumption based on everything going on in the news relating to Murdoch. I won't be surprised to see the anti-competative arguement resurfacing based on what a Labour MP said on Sky News earlier today.

So why are VM allowed Sky channels?

Both companys built there own infrastructure, both companys have been so deep in debt they faced bankruptcy but yet only Sky has to share its resources?

To be fair that doesn't make sense.
