Tivo controls the Sky box. The very best thing to do is let Tivo totally
control Sky and just watch everything through Tivo. I'd recommend 
setting season passes for everything you want and not watching live TV 
at all... the only thing I watch on live now is Big Brother live stuff 
on E4..... most of it is listed in 3 or 4 hour blocks in the guide, but
if I see Tivo is free for 30 mins or something I'll pop onto E4!

If you are watching live tv, the Tivo guide is waaaaaaaay better than 
the sky one in my opinion.... it fills the whole screen, but is 
transparent, so you can see the programme in the background, and view 
loads of channel schedules at the same time.

Erm....... not sure about that..... I don't have an aeriel so Sky 
Digital is my only source...... I'll leave that to someone else! :)
