Don't forget that as things currently stand, people upgrading to TiVo will also be upgrading to XL (those who aren't already on that package, at least), meaning more subscription money for ESPN. Personally I don't think ESPN are doing too badly on the deal. Plus, having the ESPN channels in XL means that subscribers still get some decent sports without having to also subscribe to the Sky Sports package.
