Wonder why the hell TIVO put Sky in charge of marketing their product in the
U.K...

They didn't - Sky did (and still do) Tivo's customer services.

No wonder we never see ADS for TIVO :-/

That's down to Tivo

AFAIK Sky did do the marketing for Tivo. And they did the CS as well.
Hence the demise of Tivo in the UK.

No, it was down to dimwitted staff in places like Currys not having a clue how
to operate it.

I think that you will find that they did.

Have you any evidence of that? Tivo seem to think otherwise.

I only go by what the denizens of the Tivo forums say. They usually
know what they are talking about when it comes to Tivos. AFAIK Sky
handled the initial marketing and CS contracts until recently when
marketing was discontinued and the CS contract was extended.
