The 3rd tuner is not about watching TV 24/7, it's because most new shows are shown in the 9-11 pm time slot; there's not much new content before or after that time slot. This is why Tivo's automatic searching for repeats when there are recording clashes are good. That would be even better if they included the +1 channels in the search.
Most people compare overall price when evaluating Sky/VM costs, so the £3/5 per month Tivo charge is to a certain degree irrelevant. But I would be willing to pay £5 more if VM worked out to be £5 more than Sky for similar services, just to get the functionality that Tivo offered.
I actually think VM were out of order to increase the tivo fee from £3 to £5, as from what I've read, they only pay Tivo £3. And they should also have kept it as per account in my view. As an early adopter, I just pay £3 per month, which covers both my Tivos.
