On a side note you can't view websites on the TiVo, what it does it consolidate all the content in one place under one search scheme.

I have no problems currenty accessing the content available on V+ which is fast and simple, I don't understand your comparison to VHS as I am talking about VM on demand content which will be the same content on Tivo as we have now. By websites I mean the likes of YouTube which by all accounts (from a VM member of staff on DS) you will be able to access, I don't mean using Tivo as a web browser, I use a PC for that.

Sure, you could find trailers for the next episode of Chuck on YouTube via your PC - but I'll prefer to have Tivo find that YouTube trailer along with all episodes of Chuck on the Virgin EPG, plus in Catch-Up VOD, in TV Choice VOD and in any other sources internet sources VM add to Tivo....in a single search via the TV.
God knows how much time I waste checking the EPG and various VOD menus to see if there's anything interesting on - with Tivo I'll spend less time searching for content and more time watching it.
As for content compared to Sky - we have most of the Sky HD channels and Red button and Sky VOD content is coming soon. There isn't that much significant content which is exclusive to Sky these days unless you count the as yet-launched Sky Atlantic and HD exclusives like the missing Sky Sports HD channels.

Horses for courses I suppose, it dosen't appeal to me as I find the V+ excellent and easy to use as it is.
