Well, from what I've read (so not necessarily true), they screwed Tivo over, 10 years ago, so that they could launch Sky+, which left Tivo free for VM to partner with. I think that counts.

Actually one good thing Sky did was to start to show US shows close to the US air date and several channels have followed their lead.

And Sky have lead the way in HD, forcing VM to try to catch up.
