You can record three programs simultaneously whilst watching a recorded program on one TiVo box, that alone is something that neither Freeview or Sky can do, but that is not all the box can do.

I take your point about Tivo being versatile but the point I was making is that I consider that Branson is overegging the pudding. With only 24 hours in the day are there many people who want to regularly record 3 programs at once? Once the novelty wears off will anyone but a minority actually be regularly using these facilities? Also, as has been said elsewhere in the thread, you have to pay for Tivo.
I may well be wrong but I'm afraid that I don't share Branson's enthusiasm. We shall no doubt see.
