Couldn't agree more. I've got TiVo, Sky+ and a DVD recorder. I use TiVo
for all my main recording with the DVD recorder as a backup, Sky+ is
relegated to a rarely used third choice, for the rare occasion when
there is something on two Sky only channels at the same time, without a
repeat any time soon. Mostly I can get away with TiVo for Sky stuff,
with the DVD as a backup for Freeview.
