Same boat, although mine is the 48k rubber key beast. Although it is easier and quicker to power up my Pi and run an emulator.

Back on topic, having looked at the Sky Q offering in some detail I don't think there's much VM need to do to bring the TiVO into line. My main gripe is that since moving to the Haxe platform both my boxes have become that little but less reliable.

Sky Q isn't really doing anything that new, just making some things more straight forward (e.g. multiroom, downloading content to mobile devices) and it doesn't seem to have wishlists or auto clash resolution. If VM can produce a new box, or at the very least new software, that is that little bit more reliable then I think they'll still have a competitive offering. The risk will be if they've invested too much in some fancy new feature that doesn't quite work right or is severely restricted due to licensing.
