Must say the TiVo looks better than Harmony BUT still ;)

Whole Home DVR

• Watch recorded shows on any TV in the house – all from a single DVR.
• Switch rooms and keep watching. Pause your recorded show in one room and resume watching it in another.

You say you don't see the point of +1's, that is fine, but what is your objection to them being on the platform?

They are stupid.

Does anyone see any harm in VM agreeing a carriage deal for LoveFilm to expand their selection of On Demand content available to customers? Surely it's not in direct competition if it offers exclusive content as well as "shared" rights content, ie blockbusters, etc.

Personally I would be happy to add on £5 per month to my sub to get more quality on demand content. Surely it wasn't free for VM anyway, or if it was, then no wonder some providers are making alternative arrangements with the likes of NetFlix and Lovefilm.

Android is much more likely it has 57% of the mobile market in the UK and would be much more use to a larger percentage of VM subscribers.

No suggestion or disclaimer at all anywhere to highlight ESPN HD Sports are likely to drop out of the Premier Collection at the end of July. It's an 18 month deal that Virgin are offering in the letter. I think it's deceitful signing people up to an 18 months contract when one of the key features being advertised may be removed from the package within 2 months of the customer signing up. If it came totally out of the blue I'd understand however Virgin know exactly what is happening behind the scenes with ESPN.

Very poor from Virgin. To me it's not a million miles away from lying.

If so, wonder if there is any chance they also got MRS rights agreed at the same time [Crosses fingers and hopes......., but doesnt hold breath!]

Seriously though, it's pretty decent on my HTC ONE, and not much different from my Ipod touch. The only problem is Android don't have ad free versions of Words With Friends and Hanging With Friends:(. I think the worst the OS I have used is Nokia's OVI system. I have thankfully just got rid of my N8, it was just awful for me over the last year or so!

If true, lets hope the possible arrival of the HD variants arrive too:)

I'm not going to promote it as i know it's illegal, I'm just saying that some people do it ;)

Virgin manage the pre-roll for all OD except 4OD and Catch Up so they must of seen it...
