So fingers crossed Wolverhampton is higher up the roll-out list this time. Last time we were last day but one and we have never been lucky enough to be in a trial.

Is iPlayer supposed to be improved? Still having problems when watching in HD.

Thanks. Just been reading a bit more about the changes elsewhere re html 5.

Is there a list of changes/improvements anywhere?

Err... here:
Faster
Purpler
New categories in My Shows
"What To Watch Now" (which to my mind is a list of programmes you've missed the start of!)
Supports HTML5 applications
Lots of bug fixes

I got my update yesterday. Generally, I like the new look although I would take issue with 'faster'. There don't seem to be any noticeable speed improvements - at least none that can be measured without the use of carefully calibrated scientific equipment.

When I submitted my report on the new update some weeks ago, I reported that it was much faster than before.

Since, then, it's slowed down again! Not to the levels previously, but it was a disappointment that some screens take too long to load.

Not sure if this is a fault of the software, signal strength, congestion or what but I hope it improves.

I would agree with you that I reserve judgement on the performance of some of the basic functions.

At times, they seem faster than before but also significantly slower sometimes. A restart of the TiVo seems to bring performance benefits.

Well, purple is my favourite colour so looking forward to the new colour scheme!

Anyway nothing in Biggleswade just yet but I imagine we're a small-ish area for VM so may have to wait a little bit longer for attention! :p

Totally agree with this, I thought when I used it at first it was a wee bit quicker, but I was playing around with it today and tbh there is no real difference in speed at all, in fact I tried to load Netflix and I could have went for a stroll around the block and be back before it loaded up! Not very good Virgin!

I don't think anyone is jumping to conclusions Den mate, but the facts are there, as the above posts prove. Hopefully it's just teething problems, but I was expecting a much faster/slicker TiVo experience, but sadly it just hasn't happened.

Its only just came out of trial and is in the early part of the rollout so its best not to judge until a few months down the road in my opinion.

Edited my original post mate, sorry.
