Re: TiVo Communication

it makes sense that virgin would not go all out with the TiVo features. they will slowly introduce new features to keep it fresh

He might be making an assumption based on everything going on in the news relating to Murdoch. I won't be surprised to see the anti-competative arguement resurfacing based on what a Labour MP said on Sky News earlier today.

So why are VM allowed Sky channels?

Both companys built there own infrastructure, both companys have been so deep in debt they faced bankruptcy but yet only Sky has to share its resources?

To be fair that doesn't make sense.

Because they have signed carriage agreements with them and also because of Ofcoms intervention which was because of Skys distorted market power.
