TiVo almost FreeVo

According to the BBC The price of the Tivo has been halved in America as a last gasp bid to get punters on board before other competitors launch their products. It's new price is $54 which will work out to be £475 in the UK. Probably.

I wonder if we are going to get anywhere near the full price reduction here? If we do I'd be seriously tempted at that price as it's a lot less fiddly than a FreeVo and it's not SkyPlus (excellent but Murdoch's).

Oh yeah - that's what I get for posting during breakfast. D'OH.

The SkyPlus box has supposedly improved lots - not least as various Murdoch companies had their fingers in the TiVo pie which allowed them to 'be inspired by' certain bits of the TiVo. Having now sucked them dry TiVO has now been dropped by the Murdoch crew.
