the Sky Sports red button could also be delayed because of Tivo. That is a whole new interface and I would assume they would need to code the red button for Tivo and also the current V+.

I wonder if VM would consider making this a Tivo only service to try to get more people to upgrade to that box

I can't afford a holiday to Dubai but it doesn't stop them only offering it to those that can afford to holiday there.

me point was the red button should not just be for tivo like it was suggested it should be for all sky sports subscribers

There probably be a point in the next couple of years where the TiVo box will become the standard V+ & VHD stb. It is a premium product at the moment but I am sure VM would like us all on TiVo sooner rather than later!

Ok good news it's available to everyone.

Wasn't suggested it was going to be TIVO only but it wouldn't have surprised me if it was

If they're wanting us all to move to TiVo, can they force a box to be replaced? I couldn't live without Component Out. Unless they're paying for a HDFury as well and they can gladly swap it.
