Years, if ever, is closer to the mark. BB upgrade in my area is (not that I care, is the middle to late next year!) And who ever is at fault how long has the red button via BBC be promised - yes I know but it still is yet to happen  . The only reason I have my Tivo is that it saves me money !!!. Other than that it would go back  . I would happily have a second V+ at the same cost I know it will not ,cannot happen,what a pity.

If that service was anything actually to do with Tivo, you might have a point. But it's not, so you don't.
Tivo is a DVR. That service, plus the related ones that VM already offer to all its customers, are "on demand" which is a completely separate thing.
Tivo is brilliant and Sky will never have anything like it.

You clearly are missing the point. The service what ever that is, is provided by Virgin. I don`t care were they get it from. Any more than I care which Gas field that comes from.
Virgin offered a service how they deliver is NOT my concern. The fact that is THEY choose to use TIVO. And as a piece of kit it fails on the basics of nearly all DVRs / set top boxes on the market. Virgin make promises that are not kept or are so loose that the mean nothing. I dont care if SKY have anything like it or not. At this stage it begs the question why would they want it? Most people are going to use SKY what ever Virgin bring out & that is a fact live with it.
Its about time that people lost their rose tinted glasses,It could be a great piece of kit. Whom so ever has to sorted out its problems is not my concern. It seems that the infrastructure can not cope with it ( 3 network problems in 3 weeks were I live) outside sources can not work with it.
Yet its promises promises promises.
I still have it but will look again at the end of my contract , I know two of my neighbors have gone over ( YES both had Tivo) I guess the figures will show that is is working for Virgin but I am well aware of the saying lies damn lies and statistics . They need ( as the supplier YES they)to sort it out.

And what about V+ users; or those with a standard V-box? The point is that it's not a service specific to Tivo. All VM's OD stuff is available to all its customers.

Actually, no they don't. Flimflex ("...a joint venture between Sony Pictures Television and The Walt Disney Company"| link|) runs the PPV film service; the BBC is responsible for it's own iPlayer content; etc.

Well, at least us Tivo users can record drivel on 3 channels at the same time and set a whishlist for drivel so it records every episode of drivel. When Sky boxes can do that, I may take a look!
Oh and by the way, one man's drivel, is another man's 'best show since they invented TV'
