I agree. I returned to Sky some 18 months ago and will probably remain, in spite of the superiority of Tivo. Sky will, I believe, be increasingly loathe to allow VM access to further channels as a means of combatting the undoubted success of Tivo.

Further, I have not had any problems with skybox in both my periods with sky. Unlike the many posters here and on VM's forum.
