Sky only bought into TiVo to get its hands on the technology,and now i guess they are suggesting virgin are going to do the same,i would be surprised TiVo having been bitten once and all that.  |
Yeah i agree. VM using TIVO is going to be a real usp and a big selling point over Skys interface. It's going to make Skys offering (even their new HD interface) look dated. It's going to be a massive card for VM to play and there is no way VM will go and launch their own second rate service and play second fiddle to Sky again when they can partner with Tivo and do it properly and successfully.

It will be good to have access to Youtube etc through your tv because they have full episodes of your favourite series on there and in HD too. So if Sky was to pull the likes of Sky1 off again we can watch them through iptv delivery instead. After all Sky bought tv rights, they can't stop VM streaming them to their customers through the net! That would be great!
