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.

Yes.
But the 1TB box can still record upto 740 hours SD, I read it's just less than a 3:1 ratio for SD/HD recording whereas VM is about 4:1.
Some of the bitrates on SD are pretty low on Sky which might explain how it can squeeze upto 740 hours. It is confusing I agree, maybe that's based on recording the ropiest shopping channel!
The 500gb reserved for the VOD service is totally separate.
