Exactly right, sam, which is why the Now TV option on Tivo would be an ideal solution, given the circumstances.

That way, those of us who want to pay a bit extra to get SA can get it and those who don't can choose not to pay it.
Of course Sky want more people to watch SA, but they they do not really want you watching it via Virgin Media or BT TV. You have SA via Sky OB, no-one else. It makes no difference what streaming device you have bought. Now TV is Sky's streaming service and as such, you have to go through Sky to get it. Sky are not paying Now TV a comission, you are now a Sky customer. Simple as that. VM will never put in on TiVo because there is no business case for them to do so. Why would VM want to make it easier for everyone to pay Sky for Now TV via TiVo? It makes no sense.
