They have lost well over 20% of their total customer base in a year, it's staggering.
There must be a reason for it, I would imagine the same reasons will apply here.
Until it is the de facto platform here I sadly think it will struggle but genuinely hope I am totally wrong.
I also hope they win their cases if they are justified thugh, the last thing Sky's competitors needs is another dead duck.

I haven't looked at how Tivo are set up but the probability is that Tivo in UK and US are separate entities. I doubt Tivo would be naïve enough to have its foreign operations dependent on its US entity particularly when VM are giving them a partnership for a huge customer base.
My guess would be that the UK partnership with VM would be very lucrative as all Tivo are doing here is technology they already have.
