It's interesting that every review I've seen for either VM TIVO or the US TIVO premiere picks up on the HD - SD screen issue, you would think TIVO would have made all screens HD , maybe they will in the future.

To a lot a dish is the only option especially new build estates , although I believe VM signed a deal with Persimmon homes recently.

Techradar review of the TiVo box has been uploaded.

I do like TechRadar but's what's up with moaning about how the remote should be simplified and then asking for a QWERTY keypad in the against section.
