If that is the case, why don't VM start using the same compression or video format that Sky do? I appreciate TiVo is just around the corner, but even with a 1TB hard drive, the drive will still fill up quicker than if a better compression or video format was used (especially if it is as good as finding things for you to watch as the promos suggest).

Sky use Mpeg 4 were VM still use Mpeg 2 there are no differences to picture however your right mpeg4 is compressed more hence it doesn't take as much of your hard drive.
