Two things comes to mind here.. both with series-links...
I understood that Sky's series links were much like the original V+, i.e. timeslot dependent and not sticky between series. The flip side being, I thought both were USP of TiVo and therefore USP for Virgin's TV service.
I'm not massively surprised that Sky use TiVo software (albeit not to the extent of VM) but it just makes me curious where the dividing line is...
