Wrong Skys STB is Internet connected as are some freesat boxes and Youview is freeview with Internet connectivity granted Skys STB can't run apps in its current form but Youview almost certainly will.

Yes but it will use your own broadband connection unlike Tivo which will use the 10mb dedicated broadband connection

Well for some people the Olympics will pass them by l suspect but l have always been a big sports fan so l will be glued to the action and having 24 streams will give us a great choice from which to pick what we want to watch.
