Could BT Sports launch as a dedicated app on TiVo, rather than watchable channels via the EPG?
BT would just pay Virgin whatever the going rate is to have an app hosted on TiVo. From there BT would have complete control over subscription sign ups, similar to how Spotify Premium customers pay Spotify directly, but can access their music via the TiVo app.
With TiVo having a dedicated 10mb connection, streaming BT Sports in HD should a doddle.
BT win as they can sell the channels to the customer directly. Virgin win as they have the BT Sports channels on their platform. TiVo customers who want access to BT Sports win too.
