As I and others have said several times, with the V+ the upscaled SD picture is so good it makes you question the wonders of HD. It seems, however, this may not be the case with the Tivo box. I have not got one so am unable to comment.
We are going back to the sky vs virgin you could argue that Sky's line rental if 12 months paid upfront is 9.25 compared to 12.99 for VM there evening and weekend calls are included in line rental this a further 4.00 from VM , there unlimited BB is 7.50 compared to 13.50 with VM and let's not forget if you have sky sports or movies in HD you pay 7.00 add the 3.00 TiVo and you've got a tenner there.
