What you plan to do is feasible in my view and it was the route I was planning to go down. After initially considering buying a Freeview PVR, I decided to just use catchup services for the terrestrial channels and not bother with a Freeview PVR. But when VM offered me a cheaper price to keep one Tivo with M TV, it made sense to combine streaming with Tivo. The Picture quality on the five main HD channels, is definitely better on Tivo than on the streamed versions, so that is a bonus. But if keeping a Tivo had been an extra cost, I wouldn't have done so.
