Not sure I agree with that. The TiVo is first & foremost a great recording box, and it's always better to have a program on your local box than be relying on the outside world for it. +1 channels do help with scheduling clashes.
OnDemand is a great insurance policy, but also if you find yourself weeks or months behind recordings for whatever reason - OnDemand is going to be limited, recordings won't be.
And didn't Sky at one point have a few +2 channels? That's taking it a bit far IMO, but the point probably stands.

That thought had crossed my mind too. There were some very good additions last week, but it was (rightly IMO) lost in the bad news.
If the dispute is resolved in the next week or so, I can see VM especially going to town with the publicity.
