(is that attributed to the right person)
The reason Sky+ sells so well, just like the Scientific Atlanta Cable/PVR is in the states is simple - reduction in box numbers, single connection to the TV and integration.
Most people fail to manage to set their VCR to record the cable box and then get the cable box to be on the right channel at the right time, so give up. Sky+/Scientific Atlanta take this problem away.
Its the same reason so many DVD/VCR combos are appearing on the market. To reduce box count.
