When you take into account that the TiVo boxes are newer tech, have more tuners and built in dedicated modems the asking price for Sky's boxes becomes very hard to swallow!

You have used the maximum prices for the Sky boxes for your example. What would most likely be the case is
1st 500gb Sky+HD box FREE-2nd when taken with mulitroom FREE-1Tb currently on offer to exsisting customers for £49.99 self install. So a total of £49.99
The Tivo could at maximum cost be 1Tb Tivo £99+£49 activation 500gb tivo £49.99 per box plus £49.99 x2 if you have 2 500gb so around £350.
Plus of course the £3 per box Tivo fee
Ultimately though the difference in price is just not as far as people would like to think. Most VM customers only have 10Mb so..
The average package of TV/BB/Phoneline is pretty much the same price on Sky or VM.
