I've noticed the miniTV is blank on some channels, then relised its only on sky channels.

A bit of googling finds Sky insisted their content wasn't shown in any TiVo menus. ! :eek:
Sky block all 1/4 screen windows on their channels on TiVo - even the TV Guide.

Now tell me sky don't view TiVo as a threat ? :)

When watching a recording from a Sky channel it will play in mini TV. I don't see the point of Sky forcing this limitation.
