    Perhaps Sky might start broadcasting a terrestrial digital signal, but I don't know if TiVoHD software is capable of decryption and subription to pay-TV channels.
    Our Seires 1 TiVo's probably won't become redundant for a long time.

    Confirmed ...

    You are quite correct - this was confirmed via a query on the mytivo.co.nz website. So Series 1 keep rocking!
    Bit of a shame really - it would have been a killer box if it had AV inputs.

    TVNZ suggested in the response they are open to a deal with Sky for broadcasting Sky content via Terrestrial digital .. but I don't see that happening somehow! ;-)
