When Tivo launched, functionality wise, it made the Sky box look like a dinosaur. Even the V+ has an extra tuner over the Sky box. If Virgin don't have a new box in development, then you are right, Sky Q will make Tivo look like a dinosaur.
But, do you really think that VM won't have a new box in development? They would be crazy not to. And it could be as simple as re-purposing the Tivo Bolt software for use on new VM hardware. As far as I can see, after a quick look, the Bolt can do exactly what the Sky Q box will do. Yes, there are fewer tuners, but Tivo have said they are doing further development on the Roamio, which they have stated is a level above the Bolt.
If VM have any sense, they will announce any future plans re hardware as soon as possible, now that Sky have announced their next gen box.
