Sky can't do a deal with TiVo because VM were locked in for 4 years? so presumably it will still cost them money, because presumably tivo deal works on the basis that vm buy the rights to use it like a subscription itbut it doesn't mean they have to use it?

Because for liberty their horizon box is better, cheaper and a competitor to TiVo.
