Maybe so, but look how many people aren't happy with it.

It's not the all singing all dancing box it was made out to be.

Let down by an EPG that is often out of date.

Clunky compared to satellite boxes that are nice and slick.

Mostly pointless apps that we never use and are too clunky and slow anyway.

My family and friends still have a V+ and Sky+HD and after me having Tivo for around 2 years all but two don't want the Tivo, they don't like it, the other two aren't fussed but wouldn't say no, but wouldn't go out their way to have one installed either.

Most people want a box that is slick and records the programmes they set to record, the Tivo is not slick and struggles to get recordings right.

I'm used to more than just Sky boxes too.
