That said I doubt that Now TV will make it's way to Tivo. Having it on Tivo is unlikely to be a reason for customer retention. In fact I'd bet that more people would ditch VM for Now TV/Freeview combo that would be convinced to stay.
That option exists already.

It would be worth it to Sky if the subscriptions they received outweighed the set up and maintenance costs, which of course they would. If it is worth it to have Now TV on the Roku, why not on the Tivo?
