Don't know but I can get that content now through the i-player as my PC is connected to my TV and works a treat, I would hope for something new and exclusive to sway me to Tivo really.

The Americans, on the other hand, waited a little while, then went for HD. They also have the advantage that a lot of production companies are also involved in film making, so would have invested in HD equipment anyway (it can be used for film as well).
I thought digital TV has been around in the US years before we got it?
