What I can't understand is why Sky didn't jump on Tivo from the start and offer it instead of Sky+, a customer Sky Digibox/Tivo would have been the perfect solution and would have sparked off the interest that Tivo needs to get a foothold in the market place. Ah well...

Sky get £10 a month from us Sky+ subscribers and don't have to pay a penny of it to TiVo

They would have either have had to rip apart the TiVo UI, or throw away the Sky digibox UI. I think the fact that they have a "concise" UI that is identical on every single Sky digibox is quite a selling point for most of the people who have Sky.
