VM at least can cut the price by offering a tivo box with a smaller drive without peeing off early adopters too much. At the end of the day content aside the new VM box should be far superior to the Sky boxes. With many modern features. It will be hard for Sky to counter that. I'm not saying that will make many (or any) people change from Sky. I am just saying we should give credit were it is due.
The TiVo box should be the best on the market I don't think anyone is denying that. But to release it without the three tuners operational is just plain stupid why would anyone pay for some thing that does less than what they have already.
Lets be honest the only way that Virgin can compete with sky as far as tV is concerned is VOD and I imagine that is the direction VM will go more into in the future.
