When my iPhone conects with the iPlayer, the servers know that it's a phone and sends the appropriate version at the appropriate bitrate, surely it wouldn't be too hard for the BBC to do something similar for Tivo, a specific version

that would mean the BBC would have to invest in yet another real time transcode of the service. They already do about 5 versions at great expense.
The only hope is for the BBC to increase the bit rate of their web FLV and direct feed versions. From the currently quite low 1500 (SD) and 3200kbps (HD) to something more suitable for large screens.
Vm dont really have a say on that. They could however make current BBC VOD content available to Tivo users as it is with V+ users.
