Yea, it is such as shame Tivo is almost dead here in the UK.

I am currently putting my AV system back together and have left the Tivo out of the picture at the moment, the loss of picture quality is just too great for it to be an option in the living room. For the past few years I have used a Sony Portable, so now I have a living room to watch my bigger TV in I have suddenly noticed the quality issue.

If Tivo did a box with an inbuilt freeview tuner that would be enough to get them a fair market share. I'm not a fan of Sky+ but with the Tivo lacking in new features it is looking like one of the only solutions there will be in the future.

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...

Cheers
