The bad
Not sure what deal you have got from VM but add about 7% to the package cost in Feb! You only get Antivirus free for the first 12 months, then its £25 a year after. The On demand choice is absolutely rubbish, that's when it works reliably! The upload stream on the broadband is still capped 2-3Mb and doesn't compare to the competitors.

The Tivo doesn't produce a picture half as good as my TV using the built in Freeview tuner (neither SD or HD). Not sure how it compares to Sky, it maybe crap too?

The TV anywhere application is very limited and few channels are available for live streaming.

The Good
3 tuners for recording
Internet Download speed

If the Tivo had all the feature enabled liked the USA variant it probably is a decent piece of kit. But VM have crippled the advanced features!
