Lets come back to this when the new customer figures come back for this quater and see how that theory pans out, my guess is they maybe up slightly.

TiVo needs content just like the V+ the only advantage is that TiVo may at some unknown future date have some form of extra subscription content like Lovefilm or Blockbusters but until the extras arrive the VMTV network as a whole needs to keep refreshing its content both from Sky and other providers.

I will wholheartldy agree that this needs to be done sensibly and at sensible costs but it does need to be done and quicker than what they are doing currently.
Cozzy didn't you just get through saying you wont talk about TiVo anymore?
We know, you don't want one, that's fine you don't have to get one.

Also there is new content on TiVo, it gets the full iPlayer content instead of the reduced (about 1/3rd?) content on the V boxes.
