Tivo and Ch7 has no legs....no legs...;( I also think that it will fail as there is no way Ch9 would get on board (with it’s current owners) as it will be a rival to Foxtel.

You might be able to get around it with some hacking, but it's not straightforward at all. There's also the issue of Nine and their program guide - they sued IceTV for using it, under breach of copyright. An industry-wide electronic program guide may well be "on the way", but who knows when... and with TiVo/Seven not giving too much detail at this stage - other than that TiVo will be released here "in the first half of 2008" - I ain't holding my breath.
