I don't know who you think would go down that route, given the unstoppable shift towards streaming. Sky won't go there, nor will EE (BT that was) - even Talk Talk is keeping up with the times. So what company did you have in mind?

It's not going to happen, epsilon.

That sounds like cutting your nose off to spite your face. Surely, this is all about content, not an 'undelete' function or whatever it is that keeps you wedded to the TiVo.

Freely is not going to bridge that gap, so a move to ditch pay TV for the reason you gave seems rather illogical to me.

However, horses for courses....

Agreed.
