I'd be interested to see how many Sky had shifted after their first 18 months to put the myth to bed that Sky completely ruined TiVo in any way other than launching a different product that suited people's needs better.
TiVo was £400 - both pricey products when a VCR could probably be had for less than half the price.

The V+ box used to cost £150 just like the TiVo and at present the is around a million in circulation according to this site.
