TiVo is much less a niche product than SA. IMO.

The cost thing will change at some point too.
I genuinely couldn't disagree with you more, a channel that shows, amongst other things, HBO shows is more niche than a set top box? 10 million Sky homes will have access to SA at launch, positioned right towards the top of the EPG, how many Tivo boxes are VM planning to rent out? You do know that there are less than 3 million Tivo's in circulation in the US and it is on the decline, I don't know how many homes are in the US but over 300 million people live there.

Let's agree to disagree as we are poles apart me thinks.

Exactly, and that is what most people will think I am sure.
