Tivo in the UK

Ok, so I live in the UK and I love the idea of Tivo. I don't think the hardware is sold here anymore, yet you can get boxes from ebay quite easily.

Tivo UK's FAQ states "...the TiVo service is independent of Thomson and is provided directly by TiVo so all current subscriber and any new subscribers who are able to purchase a unit, will continue to receive and be able to activate the TiVo service as they do now."

So my question/s would be... Is it worth grabbing a second hand Tivo box from ebay and activating the subscription? What kind of support would there be? Is it more worthwhile heading over to Sky+? Or can anyone suggest other possibilities of a Tivo style setup? Oh yeah, if it makes a difference, I run a few macs on an Airport network!
