Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I know.

Ken said there was a update in october and he was right he also said there would be update in November. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35...-post3108.html
I think there are the same update. I think November is when the Tivo update will be fully rolled out.

Yeah no offence to Ken but I thinks he's just guessing. ;)

Having got the new software I can confirm that this is now the case.

It popped up a window stating the details of the programme which would be clipped.

If I go to YouTube via My Shows the app is the new useless one but if I visit it via Apps & Games it's the previous version.

IMOP and i think possibly virgin media and some other major technology companies are trying to gray the line between the old school PC and the home TV.

So yes a web browser with the ability to search would aid this and give Virgin Media a boots over rials like Sky

Once the padding has been trimmed it's up to the TiVo to decide. If it needs to it will.

It's no small job providing TiVo with modern HTML interpreter and renderer. Of course they could use something like webkit but it quite a job AKAIK.

All of the company's cable TV customers will have been upgraded to the TiVo service within the next four to five years, Mr Berkett added.

By the end of July, around 50,000 of Virgin Media's 4.8 million cable customers had moved onto TiVo—which brings together video-on-demand, catch-up content, Internet-based applications and games—with the number continuing to climb, Mr. Berkett says. He declined to give specific figures ahead of the company's third-quarter results on Oct. 27.

"It's doing very well," he says. "The response has been better than good; I'm very, very pleased. The level of advocacy for the product is something that I haven't experienced before, virtually in any role I've ever had. People who have it absolutely love it; it's a new way to watch television," Mr. Berkett adds, noting that more than a quarter of the viewing TiVo customers is done through searching and browsing TiVo's menu, rather than by scrolling through channels in the traditional way.

Mr. Berkett expects all of Virgin Media's cable customers to be on TiVo over the next four or five years, but he declines to give any short-term guidance. And over time, TiVo will be available to Virgin Media customers on their on PCs, iPhones, iPads and Android devices, he adds.
