However, Marcus, I am slightly surprised you feel able to make a sweeping statement like without any supporting commentary - if it is true, Tivo would be the only technology company in the world to do so.......
To be fair how has TIVO significantly changed in 10 years? Other than to actually stop making hardware (step backwards)?

The software does pretty much exactly the same now as it did then, granted there is new stuff like mobile interaction (but that's not really a TIVO specific thing).

To answer the OP, no i don't think people will leave in droves to sign up for a tivo from sky. I'd imagine the biggest market might be recent digital TV converts who have had analogue turned off. Maybe they might be tempted as they've not had a PVR before, but for them i can't see them paying the £200 quid or an XL sub.
