I hadnt recorded it because I didnt know I wanted to watch it!

My colleague later requested a copy, and I checked TiVo's suggestions, but TiVo unfortunately had probably either not suggested it or it had been a suggestion but already deleted weeks later!

So VOD would be better in those situations.


I require suggestios to record stuff I did not know about. A VOD service would complement quite well.

So I will be getting VOD as well for 2 or 3 programmes a year..

Colleagues and friends request programmes from me occasionally, but unless we have identical tastes, it is probably only 10% likely that one of my TiVos may have the programme.


UPDATE

Now got Homechoice, and it only provides 7 days previous showings for a limited number of programmes, so the BT VOD looks like a far more useful product.

TiVo is much better than Homechoice of course
Sadly, I dont have the disk space (yet) to record every programme shown on every channel over the past month. If BT provides such a service it will be great if the price is right.

I guess my TiVos record 80,000 shows a year if I had them switched on all the time. As I turn most off during summer, I guess maybe 40,000 a year on average.

I am getting homechoice VOD re-installed next week, so that will reduce the number of programmes that 'I didnt know I wanted to record but weeks later wanted to & was not recorded ' down to about 1 or 2 per year.
