The information from RTÉ that I posted previously would suggest that this is off the table now, probably until after digital switch over is completed in the Republic of Ireland at the earliest and more likely until long after the economic recovery. Anyone care to predict when that might be? :(

Can I be first to say "Can I put a larger HDD in my VM Tivo box"?

Looks like Tivo may have an answer for this already.

From

Can you add an expandable drive to TiVo Premiere and Premiere XL?
Yes. You can connect an external hard drive via e-Sata. The 1 terabyte My Book AV DVR Expander from Western Digital can be purchased on tivo.com for $149.99.


OK, That's info for the States. Does anyone know if the VM Tivo will have the eSATA port enabled?

You can a get a TiVO BOX from the internet for about £.100. I believe thats the price you shoud be paying to VM.
Now it the price is not right (at least not right to me) can anyone tell me if I buy it online, can I then use it with my Virgin subscription? :juggle:

It is illegal for someone to sell a Virgin box as it is the property of Virgin and it will NOT work as it is paired to your card subscription.

The only way to get 1 is via Virgin. :)

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.

To answer the question, the TiVo boxes that used to be available in the UK didn't integrate with cable networks, they just had an input and a free to air terrestrial tuner.

You could connect a cable box or a Sky box to it and record that input but the guide only handles the free to air signal. So you would still need a VM box to get the cable channels but you could watch them via the TiVo box.

The new TiVo box has integrated cable tuners so you'll only need the one box but as always you'll only be able to get it from VM.

It's definitely something new, doesn't have the same shape on the left hand side that the picture of the preview box has, just find that a bit odd that's all!

The EXIF data in the images seems to show they were taken on the 13/10/2010 by an iPhone 3G in the Sheffield area. So they're relatively recent, maybe someone with access to the testing hardware?

The shape on the left is the end of the box, it's the same.
