Sky to offer tivo esque service?
 

In this months Sky mag I found this...


PROGRAMME RECOMMEDATIONS
<SNIP>
By getting a better understanding of what you watch on Sky, soon we'll be able to use this infomation to provide you with recommendations on other shows we think you might be very interested in.With more and more great programmes on Sky, we want our customers to find even more of the shows they love <SNIP>


Seems anytime is going to become a whole lot more useful by filling up with shows similar to ones we already watch, an no new hardware needed either.

Depends how it's implemented.. Tivo's method is fairly well protected by Patents so Sky will have to come up with their own. As they did with Series link and the other PVR functions. Some of which don't work as well as even the Tivo Series 1..

Be interesting to see if they can implement the full on demand for those living further than 4 miles from their exchange or recording using 3 tuners..

Yeah it will be interesting to see what features they introduce, but not at the cost of a price increase. The price freeze with the HD Multiroom subs being dropped and a 1 or 2 extra features will keep me more than happy.

Features that aren't essential causing a price rise WILL NOT be welcome.

The price would usually go up by around £3ish a month in september for skyworld but its froze this year along with the dropping of HD multiroom a subscriber with 2 multiroom boxes with HD and the price freeze could consider themselves to of saved almost £300 over the next 12 months for the exact same service .

This is much more important than anything else.
