The Tivo vs Sky Stb box has been debated many times and there seems to be no clear winner. The Tivo has 3 tuners compared to Skys 2 tuners and the Sky box is more responsive/more polished.

So both of your comments regarding Virgin being ahead are very wrong. Sky is miles ahead on broadband and the Stb's are pretty equal on comparison although one can be seen better than the other based on your own uses or views.
Oh dear it seems you have borrowed that pair of rose tinted glasses yet again because as l have stated in the past l try to give a balanced view on all things and while Sky have more channels and one or two other useful things in its armoury l think when it comes to broadband Virgin's is quite clearly light years ahead and thats not just me saying that as many others on this forum have already stated their preference for Virgin's fibre optic broadband thus also when it come to STB's whilst Sky's STB does its job only a blind man would come to the belief that it is a match for the TiVo as quite clearly in many peoples minds the TiVo is head and shoulders above Sky's trusty old dinosaur.
