Seeing Virgin would like us all to be in Tivo at some point in the future, it would be good if an app was created allowing customers to access each others recordings via an invite. For example, I recorded the boxing at the weekend but my Dad missed it. SKY are not repeating the action again. So my Dad doesn't miss out, I can invite him Tivo to Tivo to watch the action directly from my box. It'll only work if you have similar packages. Someone on M+ couldn't watch something a customer on XL has recorded from say National Geographic. Alternatively as Tivo has a dedicated internet connection, you can send another customer a copy of your recording from your Tivo box directly to theirs.
Again legally this probably would never get off the ground, I just think it would be something entirely different that no other service provides. I'm not too sure if there is an appetite for this type of app however I'd certainly use it.

I think sling have all the patents on this tied up. Maybe it could be licensed from them and incorporated into the VM TiVo box.
