Thanks for the heads up.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

New App works on iPod Touch too :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Right I think I get it after using the app.

This is the Virgin Media iPhone app with TiVo remote record and there will also be the Virgin Media Tivo app for iPad/iPhone.

That's a no by the looks of it.

am I missing something? I don't see any of the movie channels available to record from - it's giving me M, L, XL and custom (I'm VIP with all movie channels) but I dont see the option for any movie chanels on there?

I suppose it's not a big deal, but just wondering if I'm missing something - definitely looks to be working though as just tried a remote record and says it's set.

BlackBerry (as a company) is going down the pan and next to nobody is developing for it any more. Plus active (eg. growing) platforms like webOS and Windows Phone aren't getting apps so Virgin still have multiple platforms to build for.

Blackberry are not going down the pan as they are on the up. They have stated that they are looking for a tie up with Android App store (trying to find the link)? They have just released the Playbook as well?

Hands on... Virgin Media TiVo

Virgin Media TiVo from £49 plus subscription

Digital video recording specialist TiVo entered the UK market in 2000, a year after its pioneering disk-based TV recorder launched in the United States. Too small to commit to a full UK operation, the fledgling business partnered with BSkyB to bring its cutting-edge product to our shores.

However, BSkyB was just months away from launching its rival Sky+ system. To say that Sky’s heart wasn’t in the partnership is an understatement. Initial sales were poor and TiVo pulled out of the UK market soon after Sky+ launched.

Sky’s stalling tactic, though shrewd at the time, may come back to haunt it. Now partnered with Sky rival Virgin Media, TiVo is back in the UK. And after a fortnight of testing I think it could be a Sky+ killer.

At the heart of TiVo is its seven-day TV guide. From there you can schedule recordings, record an entire series, or even set up recordings based on a specific actor’s or director’s name. If you want to build a complete collection of Woody Allen movies, this is a great way to do it.

The TV guide is also available online, so you can schedule recordings over your lunch break or via your mobile phone.

Another noteworthy feature is called Suggestions. Giving a thumbs up to programmes you like and thumbs down to the rest, TiVo builds a picture of your tastes and records other programmes it thinks you might like. Virgin’s TiVo has three tuners, so it’s possible to record two programmes while watching a third live programme or, for real TV junkies, record three programmes while watching a recorded show.

Up to 500 hours of TV can be recorded on the range-topping 1TB box although this drops to 100 hours for high-definition recordings.

On-demand programming, such as that from STV and Channel 4, is neatly integrated into the TV guide, so if you’ve missed a programme you can go back and select it from the schedule rather than resorting to a separate menu.

A separate apps menu hosts YouTube and BBC iPlayer (which, somewhat frustratingly, isn’t included alongside the other on-demand channels) plus a range of other interactive features such as weather forecasts.

Would I recommend it? Yes, absolutely. No other system – from Sky to BT Vision, Freeview to Freesat – offers such a complete mix of live, recorded, on-demand and premium content from a single box.

Stars: 5/5

Positives: Powerful multi-channel recording paired with unmatched on-demand services.
Negatives: Only available in areas with Virgin Media cabling.

Thats says everything about the superiority of the tivo.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

You're joking right?
They're losing market share everywhere.

Them getting android apps running on their devices is a mark of desperation.
They dropped from near 20% to 16% of the market in a year, whereas android jumped from 4% to over 22%. Blackberry is a sinking ship and both the playbook and attempt to run android apps natively are attempts to plug the holes.

There is no definition of "on the up" that covers blackberry, unless you're standing on your head.

OK then i will stand corrected? But I would take BB over any other handset IMHO
