I am still hoping that when the new TiVo box arrives it will take the opportunity to leapfrog Sky Q and give us a whole new generation of box.

PS - I'm not holding my breath.
I'm interested to know what exactly more you are wanting ? Or are we just talking my box is better than yours.:D

If there is a new box coming then Virgin Media would announce it as part of a plan, just as they do with other product changes.

However just as with any other company, any product plans before an announcement are confidential so until it's announced then anything you hear is rumour.

Draw your own conclusions.
l was trying to think of that NDA meaning earlier but alas it was on the tip of my tongue as usual.:)

But there are some goodies coming to vm tv customers in the next 6 months.

I have sources i can't disclose them for obvious reasons.
Once i'm allowed to reveal more information i will :)

As Spiderplant said anyone testing new products or software is under a none disclosure agreement, i'm testing the new ps4 software but sadly am not allowed to reveal any features etc due to agreeing to a none disclosure agreement.

.... And I'm fairly certain that additional function for the current TiVo is being tested now.;);)

Such as what? At present it cannot do what it is supposed to do now well...

Well in our household it generally does things pretty well although a bigger memory and more tuners would not go amiss that's for sure.

I know that l have asked this question before. But when is the True Channels contract come up for renewal.

As l understand that there is True Movies 2, and True Crime outstanding ?

And did someone say that a NEW Tivo box is coming out at £9.99 with no upfront costs - maybe wrong ?

I believe it's a rights issue

Iplayer app, filmon or tvplayer app will get around this issue

Simple answer - the BBC want you to use their iPlayer. I believe you can't watch BBC channels on Sky Go either.

Because clearly VM don't have the rights , it's also not available on Sky Go. Download the iplayer app and you can watch both live and On Demand there.

That's what I was told today if we go for QuickStart but if you want virgin to dissconnect old TiVo and put TiVo 2.0 in its £99

Tsv anywhere is ok but issues like you can watch on 4g or watch live recordings means it's only good with wifi
