I made the move from TiVo to Sky around 10 months ago and haven't missed it one bit! I think you'll be surprised just how fast and responsive the Sky+HD box is and with all the HD channels your TV will have never looked so good! :)

Sky 3D is also an incredible channel with a lot of Movies, Sports and Documentaries airing over the Xmas period.

With the Sky + app for iPad I'm using the EPG on the TV less and less.

This can't be said enough, Sky really have a fantastic suite of iPad and iPhone apps that complement their TV package!

Couldn't agree more , I love the latest update allowing you to view the OD/Catchup library.

This was interesting in the article on DS

The feature only works when the user's tablet or smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as their Sky box, but the broadcaster is working on an update to enable recording on different connections.

It seems in the future you'll be able to use the app when away from your home to start OD downloads.

That would be a good feature. They need to make it on Android as well, feeling left out :(

Its because iOS is easier to code for but i think they should develop quicker for Android and release both versions together. Android is becoming a bigger market than iOS

Just a shame the android version doesn't let you change channels manually. Obviously its easy for them to add as Zeebox does it.

SKY should get some reps on this site. I'm sure there are a few virgin fanboys who could be turned with a nice little offer code :D I don't care how good TiVo is, I'm going to be saving almost £600 over the next 12 months!

No l am not for turning as someone famously said.:nono::nono:
