Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

surely that is a mis quote or a mistake !!!!

the V+ HD box othe than the Samung is the Scientific Atlanta box and that struggles with the current EPG we have.

i think it was ment to be V HD box as the quote also says the NON DVR but all V+ HD boxes have the DVR its the new V HD box that doesnt have the DVR features.

Spoke to CS last night and my scource also confirmed this.

Sky sports red button = To arrive in January 2011, thats 100% btw
ITV 2/3/4 HD will launch in the first quarter of next year
Sky Atlantic will launch the same time as on the Sky platform
CBS Drama will launch in the first quarter


There are no more exclusives for Sky anymore, The basic HD channels are in the process of arriving.

I know people have doubted what I have posted but I can only go on what people (working for virgin) tell me.

Tivo will launch in January aswell.

You'll need to upgrade to VM TiVo if you want it. V+HD will continue for now as is.

Sounds good Winkle, really looking forward to the Red Button function for the footy on Saturdays nights and for next seasons Champion League nights.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

I hope the Red button isnt as pixilated as BBC Multiscreen

As someone who has had a TiVo unit for 10 years I can guarantee you'll be impressed.

The features, usability and feel of the UI still blow away todays other PVR offerings on cable, sky and freeview. Hell even the series links (or season passes as TiVo call it) that I set 10 years ago still work, not only that but if there is a recording clash it searches the EPG for any future repeats and automatically sets them to record instead.

I'd love to get my hands on one of these for Christmas... *fingers crossed*

Same here, that would be a great xmas prezzi!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Ah damn that tivo menu system is so clunky and awkward I had high hopes that Virgin would have done something to improve the situation and not just turn the damn thing red.

Well that's me sticking with sky then

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Dont be so negative. Tivo is better than Sky. The options available will be great and should only really range between £100-£200.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Don't knock it until you've seen and used it, Skys UI (I've not seen the HD UI) is like a ZX Spectrum next to a TiVo powered box and the menu layout is very intuitive.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

I was expecting Virgin to do something with tivo's awful menu system which it seems like they haven't.

I'm not negative because anything Virgin do will be better than what we have now anyway.
