Had TiVo made the boxes, things would be a whole lot different.

I don't think Tivo ever manufactured the boxes themselves, they never were a hardware company. This was outsourced to companies like Philips and Thomson. It was just that Tivo sold subscriptions directly to consumers. Fine when cable companies had poor EPGs but this was an unviable business model when they caught up with Tivo's technology.
I don't think there's anything wrong with VM's manufacturers Samsung and Cisco. Just that like an old PC or phone, they are not powerful enough. I've seen YouView boxes run similarly slow and even hang on Demand 5.

I think they rushed it after BT launched its 4K box but I think it was the right decision for Sky.
