Not in a single box.  I guess that it will be very unlikely that a
single
Sky Box will ever be able to output two different video ouputs at a
time.
However as Sky+ comes with a quad LNB, your able to simply add
additional
normal Sky boxes in order to output additional video sources.  More
Sky
boxes require more sky viewing cards, which can either be for Pay TV
(more
cost) or FreeToAir cards for BBC and alike.

With Sky+ you'll get the option to record two Pay Sky channels at once
with
one card (which TIVO can't do), but only view one program at a time. 
With a
Tivo/Sky Box combination, you can of course view a recording and live
SKY
show at once, but then if the  Tivo is recording from Sky you wouldn't
be
able to watch a different live Sky channel anyway.

I guess Tivo/Sky is more flexible in what you could do separately with
the
two boxes, but Sky+ should be a better overall for a single viewer. 
My
widescreen telly has built in Terrestrial digital which will hopefully
be
better once the BBC gets itself sorted.

I plan to get Sky+, and move my old sky digibox into the bedroom. 
There's
only two of us so this should be fine.  Problem is I can't bare the
thought
of giving Sky any money for subscriptions, most of the TV is all
rubbish
anyway.
