Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

As you may have seen The BBC will launch an App on Tivo sometime before April 1st 2012. With extra streams for Live sports.

But my insider has confirmed to me that non-TiVo viewers will only get the standard service that broadcast on Sky or Freeview.

DF how many planned apps are in the pipeline for next year apart from the BBC/Virgin joint ones as it would be nice to have a bigger selection.

VM have said they are talking to lots of suppliers and they want TiVo Apps to be an open platform. I expect 2012 to be a good year for Apps on TiVo :)
