I am pretty sure that Neil Berkett said that they were hoping (or some similar wording) to talk to Netflix and Lovefilm about the possibility of adding them to Tivo. It was certainly after the Cindy Rose article as Netflix has only been in the UK for a little over a year (launched January 2012 if I recall correctly)
