It will. You will need to use the two boxes intelligently of course
(ie not set up Sky+ recordings whilst the Tivo is recording something
as you would then record the OSGs) but that shouldn't be difficult.

Sky+ has no OSG when you are recording (unless you have set it to tell you
it is running low on space). The only way you know it is recording is the
red light on the front of the box.

But if the Tivo is recording the output of the Sky+ box, and you attempt
to "set up a Sky+ recording whilst the Tivo is recording", you will record
the OSGs which presumably do appear when you attempt to add a new
recording.

The quality of a recording on Tivo is far worse than on Sky+, both
in theory and in practice. It is very noticable, particularly on the
high-quality channels such as Sky Sports and Sky Movies.

I don't think I've heard "Sky Movies" and "high-quality" used in the
same sentence before :-)

I can't think why not. The Sky Movies channels offer the best quality out of
all digital TV channels in the UK, via any medium.

You misunderstand me. The Tivo will record the video output from the
Sky+. The Sky+ only outputs one thing at a time. If you are setting up
a Sky+ recording whilst the Tivo is recording something then the Tivo
will record the images of you setting up the Sky+ recording, not the
programme.

Yes, now I see.
