They already are looking into moving away from Youview apparantly, only seen a couple of rumours on this, i think talktalk may follow suite too.

Nothing wrong with investing Sir but throwing good money after bad ain't a good idea in the long run as it catches up with you.

I'm sure that VM will finalise pricing nearer to the launch date. Will be interesting to see if BT reacts to Sky Q too.

The Sunday Telegraph says BT has begun discussing a bid to take full control of YouView, allowing it to speed decision-making. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/...ol-of-tv-tech/
Definitely shows that VM needs a great forthcoming TV platform offering.

The retail Tivo in the US is being discontinued as most people who want to spend on subscription TV get their PVRs from their cable or satellite companies and those that don't want to pay subscription fees don't want to pay Tivo fees either! I don't think any of the Tivos distributed via cable companies will allow external hard drive functionality as the content providers would charge a lot more for their content if this functionality was permitted.

I do think we are likely to have wifi on TiVo to connect other TiVo. But looking into TiVo models they seems to be down the route like sky q of one box and then steaming content via wifi to other boxes and seems to match rumoured pic and matches colour of superhub

An new app is testing.

Do you mean a new TiVo anywhere app. Because apps on this box are slow and I don't bother now. When I want catch up I use my smart tv as it is so much quicker and virgin should be pushing some info or allowing yourself to give info as the current TiVo boxes are a waste of time and no longer worth the money
