With a 1TB hard drive, and 3 recordable tuners, I don't understand why you need catchup?
If you set series links for all the programmes you would watch on catchup, you've got them to watch whenever you want. As all the programes on catchup are on linear TV channels, you can't get anything on catchup that you can't get on a channel you can record.
Catchup can of course be usefull for programmes that you weren't aware of and hear about later. Tivo suggestions will help there though.
As for TV Choice on demand, I do find it usefull occasionally as I said, but I usually keep an eye out for programmes that I'm likely to want to watch. As I mainly watch US dramas, places like digital Spy are good for telling you what's new and coming soon in terms of US shows. And this is where TIVOs whish lists will come into there own. Instead of trying to find out when a new show I want to watch is going to come to a UK channel, I can just add it to the wishlist and TIVO will pick it up when a UK channel gets it.
It's the same with the season breaks that US dshows take; you have to keep an eye out for when the show returns, because V+ series links often don't pick the show up after the season break; Tivo will pick up new episodes whenever they occur for a particular show, even after season breaks and even the next season, sgown a year later without you having to intervene.

TBH, the only content I really want is Sky atlantic. CBS action and drama would be good but from what I've seen of the shedules, they're showing programmes that have been seen before, so nice, but not essential.
Of course I'd like HD versions of all the channels, but they will come and we've got a lot of HD over the last few months.
