I suspect that the reason Tivo was not doing well because Sky were marketing it, and while I don't mean to imply anything dodgy was happening, it's interesting that Sky + came along shortly after Sky started marketing Tivo, and was in direct competition.

from what I've seen in the screenshots the new tivo seems pretty much the same to operate which is cool, just with extra bells and whistles. I'm hoping it still goes "bloop" when selecting menu items or increasing FF speed etc., shame they got rid of the tivo button at the top tho.

I believe NTL did, but it was not integrated in the the Cable service, so if you were recording something, you had to watch it if you wanted to watch anything on Cable. Unless you had a second STB.
