You'll be lucky to find someone willing to sell their TiVo in NZ, esp since we won't get the Series3 HD TiVo here.
Yes a series 1 TiVo will record Sky (in standard definition). If you have a Motorolla DTH335 Sky box you will need it swapped for a DTH325 or a Pace unit (small silver one).
If you are in Chch I can help you with setup.
TiVo S1 sell for US$20 or less on Ebay, but postage is about US$80. You might have to buy a remote seperately. You can get one abit cheaper on ebay if you look at the auctions which don't specifically say that they will or will not ship overseas, and message them. USPS (not UPS) Economy Air is the cheapest shipping option I know of.

You won't need to modify the hardware for use with a Sky box, apart from putting in a bigger HDD if you choose to.
