If you look at the Tivo boxes provided directly by the cable operator in the US netflix is not available, or amazon I think although you do have access to the cable operators own on demand services. I think blockbuster is available on RCN but not other platforms.

If you buy your own Tivo (not from the cable operator) then you CAN access netflix and blockbuster but you cannot currently access the operators own on demand services.

Seems mostly like one or the other, at least over there.

Yeah not a bad feature so long as it is utilised, Sky have rarely used their message feature I think.
