Although threre is loads of good stuff on Tivo, whishlists is a biggie for me and as Tivo have the patents tied up on a lot of tivo features, I wonder if Sky can find an equivalent that doesn't infringe the patent?

Yes I agree interesting times ahead , competition will hot up even more next year with TIVO, Sky Anytime+ , Youview , connected TVs , games consoles all available widely. Sky are currently let down with the stupid restriction of Anytime+ only being available to Sky BB customers however I feel this may change.

Thats Murdoch,s greed at work there and the dark side of the force as well.

Media Boy gives out for info on when Sky Sports Red Button (Phase 2) will launch on Virgin.

My insider has told me an ''working for'' launch date but I am not given that info out just yet but I will say that Sky Sports Red Button ''Phase 2'' will launch on Virgin Media sometime starting July 19th - August 4th

Which is good news if you like the show but still nothing to directly do with Sky themselves ;):D

Mad Dogs was commissioned by British Sky Broadcasting.

I agree House has nothing to do with Sky as it is merely an imported show, I wonder if Sky would ever consider putting in on Atlantic?

Yes. Sorry. My mistake :o: I meant to delete that post when I found out but got busy. I realise now I was thinking of "Mad Men" which they nicked off the BBC by throwing more money at the show's producers. :(

I'm surprised they haven't yet moved all their best shows over to their "exclusive" channel :)

Mad Dogs is quite good but i'm afraid Hugh Laurie will always be The Prince Regent for me, brilliant.

I would expect shows like House to be on Atlantic but to their credit they have kept an awful lot of top US content away from it which is good news for non Sky customers.
