You can get dual-tuner PVR's for less than £200 - how would they get away with charging ~£300 more for similar hardware?

As you've owned a TiVo before do you not think it does so much more than existing Freeview PVRs? Even the UI is better than anything on any current box I've used. I still use my Series 1 TiVo with a Freeview box and although it's only single tuner, the software can compensate for it (providing there's a repeat).
It also depends on the manufacturer... yes there are cheap Freeview dual-tuner PVRs for under £200, but the FreeviewHD box from Panasonic is £500... which again the VM TiVo will blow away both feature, UI and storage wise (it only has a 250GB HDD).
