When will this launch?

Between now and Thursday 1st March, some customers will see it today and the rest over the next few days. We'll only have a limited ammount of content to start off with but don't worry we'll be adding to it over the next few weeks until it's all online.

Where do I find it?

Just go to the following folders on your TiVo - Sky Movies>HD and Sky Sports>HD.

Is there anything else I need to see this content?

You'll need three things, to be an active TiVo subscriber, to have a subcription to the relevant Sky Premium Collection and Sky HD channels and you'll need a HD ready TV with a HDMI cable connecting your box to the TV.

Why is this only available on the TiVo?

Unfortunately our V+ box isn't able to cope with MPEG4 content which TiVo can handle. We're using this video standard as it maintains quality while using less space in storage and streaming, we wouldn't have been able to have fitted in as much content using MPEG2.
