However, I want to say that I am not bashing Sky here, I just want a more competitive environment, with Sky unable to call all the shots at the expense of its rivals.
If maximum capital is made out of the TIVO boxes, I can see VM being seen as a worthy competitor to Sky. But they have to be quick, or else people will go for other solutions and it will be too late.

While I agree it may affect Sky's subscriber numbers slightly the same could very well be said with regards to VM lower tier TV customers who don't want to pay £8.00 TIVO subs and will be able to get TV catchup services through connected TVs and youview.
