I have signed up for Netflix and will be paying the extra for the unblock. Having been with Sky for 18 years it will be a different experience I'm sure. I am a bit of a tech freak so the many more options that TiVo offer look good. I won't have to keep looking on my iPad at IMDB to see more about the actors that are in something that I am watching - hopefully.

They are both good at what they do , having used them both here's my honest opinion.
TIVO PROS , More advanced functionality as passingbat has described , Youtube access , remote record functionality , multiroom streaming , 3 recordable tuners , dedicated modem for On Demand.
TIVO CONS , Bit slower through the menus , EPG data can on occasions be flaky especially with schedule changes.
Sky+HD PROS Dynamic EPG which can be adjusted to reflect sport overruns or schedule changes , On Demand easier to navigate (in my opinion) , start recordings from defined number of minutes , remote record functionality.
Sky+HD CONS No OTT access , Only 2 tuners , On Demand uses BB connection , no conflict management facility.
I'm sure you'll find both boxes are a work in progress with upgrades in the pipeline.
