TiVo will be a good piece of kit once all the niggles are sorted out, but it is only a box that delivers content.

I accept VM already have network catch up, indeed that is the only reason I retain a VM TV service but things may well change with the content Sky provides, no one really knows.

But to suggest Sky will struggle to compete on the content front with YouView is ludicrous, YouView need Sky not the other way around. I am sure they will relish the battle.

That's why I said "You make good points for the present situation,". Sky is content king the way people watch TV now.

But the way content is being delivered is changing. People are watching content via online sources, and in that respect, Tivo is way ahead of the opposition, including Sky. Now, how long it will take for that to become more popular is hard to say. Apparantly the growth in TV sales is not in 3D sets, but in 'connected' TVs.

I suspect Sky will have another box in development, but when you look at future content delivery, ATM, Sky are behind.
