Aside from the lack of a third tuner Alan , what else is lacking with the Sky+HD box in your opinion.

Maybe 4oD, Netflex and Lovefilm as well, along with more storage space

The 1TB Sky+HD box already has more storage than any other pay TV PVR in the UK and Netflix is available on many other devices such as games consoles. Channel 4 catchup content will be available on a satellite channel soon enough.

For quite a few people l am sure the Sky+HD is perfectly fine but for those who want something with all the bells and whistles on and also has huge potential for the future then the Tivo is your box.

They do not have anything like the Tivo graphical user interface.

Guardian: Freeview 'porn' sparks Ofcom action.

Ofcom has complained to the Dutch media regulator about the content of adult chat channels Babestation and Smile TV, which are licensed in the Netherlands but broadcast to millions of Freeview households in the UK overnight and can be easily accessed by children in their bedrooms.

All the channels on this post also broadcast on Sky.

There is a huge difference between accessing something on Freeview tv or illegally on the internet.
