Yes it's still the best at what it does on the market, but its certainly in a competitive scrap with Sky because of their marketing & strategy machine, not because its a better or worse product.
Because of this, I hoped (and still do) that VM would price it aggressively. I don't see Sky really shaking in their boots until the price drops dramatically.

Why would VM's TiVo be any different? its being supplied and worked on by TiVo themselves and its the same as the current Series 4 Premiere UI they are using over there.
I don't think the box is ugly. Its not got all the bright LEDs the SA and Sammy had and is very subtle and will certainly blend in to your AV shelves and not stick out. So is a win for me.
