I did say that I knew not all of what Tivo is capable of had yet been implemented, and it is frustrating that red button and reminders are
"coming soon". However, you seem to suggest that Tivo wouldn't be able to run with a dynamic epg, which I don't believe to be the case, and the recording space on the hard drive differs because of the compression standards used by the different companies rather than any lack of ability on the part of the box so I think you're being slightly harsh to claim that as a Sky "feature" in response to a post which is specifically about whether one box is technologically superior to another. As for being able to back up on demand, I would imagine the rights issues are a bit easier to get over when you own them all-again, nothing to do with the box, more to do with the company.
And yes, I did come to Virgin for the broadband. When I later moved my TV over to them I found V+ a real shock to the system, even though it is just a "simple pvr that records peoples programmes". I'm sure you would agree that in terms of boxes V+ hd doesn't come close to Sky+ hd, even though it has many "features" you refer to.
