Or like us, get 2 sky+ boxes for only an extra 10 quid a month.

That should be fine - but if you end up with the Sky+ recording two
programs
at once it'll go horribly wrong and your tivo will probably end up
recording
a screen saying 'you must cancel one of the recordings to watch live tv'.

You might consider getting them to wire up your old sky box and getting a
second card (10 quid / month), specially for the Tivo.
