Another thought... or two
Having seen a mySky box in operation and THEN making the call to build a Tivo... Madness? We no actually, quite sane.
The two channel feature is huge, however consider that Sky repeats everything of their own content a couple of times, so a conflict between two sky channels is easily resolved.
The problem comes when we want to include FTA channels into the mix. But the quality of the re-encoded Sky signal and a large format tv, quite frankly sucks, a decent ariel and FTA for 2/3 is an ideal setup, the quality difference is significant.
I am under 90 and so don't find myself watching TV1 too often, so its out of the mix.
Once I have finished installing air con in my house (why is this a rare thing in a country this damp in winter and sticky in summer?) I will be into the second unit for the bedroom with FTA tuner onboard, content sharing and a seperate set of season passes. Job done. Can watch content from either in either room, high quality for TV2/3 and all the Tivo fruit.
Sure I am spending twice as much, but then again I am officially a geek and if it doesn't involve a torx driver and a couple of cable ties, I am not interested anyway
