Re: TiVo
I have just posted this in the billing section of this forum but thought I'd post it here too just to make sure those with Tivo see it:

Re: TiVo
He worked for Sky for a very long time. He pioneered the Sky+ that screwed TiVo over in the first place. I would hope he would be objective, but it depends on how much brand loyalty he carries around with him. He will still have a lot of friends at Sky, you always do when you work for someone for that length of time.

But lovefilm hsve said they want to be available via as many connected devices as possible. That's their policy; a new recruit's personl likes/dislikes won't alter that.

Re: TiVo
Less than four hours to go to the start of the 2011 F1 season and I can't watch it as TiVo can't access BBC red button interactive services. Grrrrrr.....!!
