I occasionally have 3 recording at one time which means I'm limited to on-demand or previous recordings, the 4th tuner would allow me to watch another channel. Doesn't happen very often though
If all three tuners are in use, I find that I cannot use On Demand :confused:

It must need a tuner for VOD.

Sadly having three tuners ain't enough in our household at times so a couple more would be very handy indeed.

If I remember the reason the TiVo needs to use a tuner is so it can integrate with same on demand service the same way the V+ does. Basically simplifies the delivery system for VM.

The apps that go through the 10Mb pipe (iPlayer, Netflix) can be used when 3 tuners are in use.

It's all about your household size and their eagerness to watch traditional TV content.

Agreed but most pay tv platforms are now putting a far greater emphasis on the ability to view what you want where you want when you want.

As an example look at Billions the new Showtime drama on Sky Atlantic , the whole series is available to watch at the pace you choose. Most channels are actually switching on to the fact that by making their content available On Demand people actually consume more.

Virgin Media have already said they are looking to strengthen their On Demand offering whilst I've always said linear is here to stay On Demand will play an important role in a pay tv providers offering and in my opinion make tuner clashes less and less going forward.

Agreed, that's what I was getting at by my vaguely-worded "traditional TV content". VM are certainly promoting their Kingdom offering on large billboards.

Is that you saying there might be a change and new TiVo could drop over summer with five or more tuners
