I'm sure you know but Sky employ DVB-S2 (MPEG4) which is much more efficient than MPEG2 as used by VM.
But that's for HD isn't it?

Don't Sky use MPEG2 for their SD channels?

Mind you, if they are using MPEG 4 for SD and that doesn't include the space for Anytime, then that would explain why Sky+HD 1TB has almost double the SD recording space compared to VM's 1TB Tivo.
