Maybe if Sky had a box with the same amount of functionality as Tiivo, instead of a box that should be on the Antiques Road Show and broadband in the same league as VM's, then you could well be right... but they don't.

But alas there's no TiVo in your household and l am afraid that's something you need to experience dear chap.

3 tuners, yes at one time i thought so too.
But a you have on demand, with lots of content, and plus 1 channels, not sure I agree any more.
I have the 2tb box...it is huge, even when recording all programs in HD (oh, virgins, that is a lot of channels in HD)
And I have never miss on sky, which reminds about show coming soon

None. But as i have said many times, HD is mainly needed for sport.
I have no real issue with standard tv for recording other programmes.
My issue isn't content, it is time to watch it all.
I almost need to do a Michael Keaton in Multiplicity

Not really IMHO. Not only does HD give you a better picture (important in itself), but also 5.1 surround sound; well except for ITV, who don't seem to care about the enhancement that 5.1 audio can bring.

I don't see Hd as important for entertainment shows, just sport. picture is perfectly fine.
On sound, I guess that makes a difference. i don't use 5.1.
My ears can hear the tv without it

I agree. I have a 2TB as well and with all the HD content i record i still have space and it would have been filled on Tivo by now. On Demand and Catchup are far better than VM's offering
