Sure, and there's also Freesat (not the same as Freesat from Sky) which uses an alternative EPG. He's the MP for Rhondda so it follows that he was referring to areas there where cable is unavailable and Freeview signal is either poor or non-existant. I felt he was talking without being in full possession of the facts. There were other competitors to TiVo prior, or around the same time as, Sky+ was launched. The idea of a PVR wasn't unique to TiVo back then.
