Tivo is also a brand new product with a unique UI and features and in high demand (over 20,000 existing customers have logged a wish to purchase). When the Sky+ HD (1TB) box was launched it had a premium price, so I say to those who don't want to pay the £149, simply wait a couple of years and you will get a much better deal!

There are also variants of the box coming out in 2011 which will be cheaper (smaller HDD but same Tivo UI) and suspect when this is launched, customers will not be asked to upgrade to XL TV as they are now.

New technology always comes at a premium, VM is a commercial organisation not a charity, so either pay or wait for when the price comes down, your choice.
