RE: ReplayTV - European Launch plan...

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Granted Replay TV does, on the face of it, looks to be better than TiVo
in a few areas with one major drawback...I can't get one! ;-)

I also see that there is a advert skip feature and that was discussed
by
Sky (primarily in the EU) but other broadcasters as well as PVR
technology gets better and AFAIK there are plans to charge extra on the
subscription to enable this feature. It can't be done right now, but it
is coming as there was a huge debate about this in the US due to Replay
TV.
