I'm rather puzzled by Branson's comment:

I think that we have finally got a weapon that can give Sky a run for their money.

At the moment my Freeview box (on TV no 2) is quite capable of recording anything I want, including series whilst the old DVD recorder that I use with the TV with the Virgin Media box will record anything from VM. Surely Tivo is simply a programme recorder with a few added bells and whistles? It doesn't supply extra programmes, or does it? So why does Branson rate it as a killer app? Am I missing something about Tivo?
