An even more compelling reason that TiVo scores over Sky+ (if I'm not mistaken) is that when it becomes possible to network two TiVos in the same household that will in effect give users six tuners to play with. This may not be too far away. The big attraction for me, however, is the on-demand content available via the TiVo. In an ideal future all content will be on-demand to be viewed when I want and not when the broadcaster dictates. It's only really news and sporting events that need to be viewed as they happen.
