maybe they're waiting until both the 1TB and 500GB are available to new customers?

No point advertising till it's fully available for new customers.

No point in advertising if you're selling all you have currently without advertising.

Expect an aggressive marketing push in the 2nd half of this year :)

Expect a decent bug fix/feature gap update in the Summer then!

You make it sound like tivo in it's current state is buggy and lacking serious features?

That's not my experience. Although I would like some changes, if they changed nothing, I'd still be happy with Tivo.

I know people want the Red button, so I accept that, even though it's not an issue for me as I rarely use it and can get it from the Freeview on the TV if needed.

One of the fun things about Tivo, like the TVDrive/V+ when they first came out, is it gives us TV Gadget nerds something to chat about on the forums.
If they came out perfect, there would be nothing for us to talk about.
We would have to watch the TV.
I am very happy with my Tivo, and actually enjoy the anticipation of upgrades and fixes.

Do you have to ring the 0845 number to order as an existing customer seems a money maker if so as no alternative on saynoto0870

You have Virgin Media phone in your profile so you can phone 150 at no cost.

Surprised as given an installation date of this Thursday and expected much longer. Nice one Virgin.
