Which is me so I only pay a premium of £3 versus £10 Sky and if I wanted to stay with V+ my premium would be £0.

I am also of the opinion that while VM have launched Tivo with its 1Tb and 500MB boxes with a £3/month fee, I anticipate a base function box with no monthly fee to reflect their plans to replace all boxes with Tivo based software eventually. Would expect features currently available on Tivo to be disabled to do this (e.g. no wish lists, no suggestions), in fact with the comment made by VM of saying they can install Tivo software on the Cisco non-PVR HD only boxes, that is actually a necessity.

Tivo has only just been launched so ahead of the game here, but may just be the way forward for VM.
