I say may as for now it is treated as a rumour a new source so we shall see.
I think it's inevitable, theone. Most apps providers seem to be offering both Netflix and Amazon. Just Now TV left then as the next big thing for Virgin!!

Access on these devices will be way faster than via the current Tivo.
You are right of course, but you neglect the fact that many, many people are still ignorant of how they can receive these apps, and of course there are also many people who cannot afford to buy additional equipment on top. I still say that Tivos with these apps built in will be hugely popular, provided VM resolve the speed issues.

I don't know, though. If they incorporated the cost in the TiVo charge, that would work as long as a deal could be made with either Netflix or Amazon.

I don't think that would be possible with Now TV for quite a few reasons, including the fact that 'Sky is Sky'!!!
