Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3

That's Opera Mobile not Opera TV. I assume the app lists are different although there may be some degree of overlap. I've struggled to find an Opera TV list.

I have some Opera TV apps on my Sony TV. I will have a look at them and report back. Here's a link though that explains a little more - looks like an HTML5 platform for App development

Today, Virgin Media has unveiled a significant update to the UKs largest connected TV platform, with a new look on its way for our 2.3 million plus Virgin Media TiVo customers.

The visual style reflects our new brand identity but also introduces HTML 5, with a higher definition interface that paves the way for better access for app developers. For example, we’re working with Opera to bring its app store to TiVo – more details will follow once the rollout is complete.

Does anyone know if opera is good when comes to apps also would they have WWE network has a apps thanks

How do they come to that conclusion ?

link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_TV

A smart TV, sometimes referred to as connected TV or hybrid TV, (not to be confused with IPTV, Internet TV, or with Web TV) is a television set or set-top box with integrated Internet and Web 2.0 features, and is an example of technological convergence between computers and television sets and set-top boxes. Besides the traditional functions of television sets and set-top boxes provided through traditional broadcasting media, these devices can also provide online interactive media, Internet TV, over-the-top content, as well as on-demand streaming media, and home networking access.[1][2][3][4]

The software that runs smart TVs can be preloaded into the device, or updated or installed on demand via an app store or app marketplace, in a similar manner to how the Internet, Web widgets, and software applications (in this context commonly just referred to as "apps") are integrated in modern smartphones.[5][6][7][8][9]

Since it's a another way of saying smart tv guest sky box don't have this ability.

Its the confusion around the word connected , referring to OTT and streaming functionality I can see but actual boxes connected to the internet clearly its incorrect see here.

Had a quick look - Opera TV means dozens and dozens (possibly hundreds) of little apps, much like the TiVo people suggested we'd have but have had very few of thanks to the limitations of Flash. There are the movie trailer apps, radio apps, games apps (little ones, like Sudoku and other simple things) and lots of others. It's nothing to get particularly excited about but may develop into something work exploring on the TiVo.

I don't think they mean connected as in "to the internet", I think they mean to a proprietary network.
