Agreed.

I've found Netflix to be fantastic so far, oddly more for its TV shows then films. No expiry dates for content and most episodes of shows are on there, unlike VM where it would be half-a-season (with some episodes missing) which have to be watched by the end of next week.

Streaming quality (on my Xbox 360) has been excellent (720p I believe), and pretty close to some HD channels on TiVo. Most of the content I've streamed has been in 5.1 audio - there's some HD channels on TiVo which don't even broadcast in that.

I've stated before why TiVo is ideally placed to have these sort of apps. If VM are content with using that 10mb connection for Twilight promotional apps and to convince us to upgrade to Sky Sports, then, well, their loss. TiVo is being seriously out-apped by several devices (it has fewer apps then any other media player, console and TV in my house) and I don't think the likes of BT Vision and YouView will be shy of such apps.
