to be honest i dont see what the new TiVo press release has to do with VM. the thing is its all for the US and just because VM has an agreement with TiVo doesnt mean we will actually get anything that remotely resembles this.

Until VM and TiVo show something here in UK there is no reason to get excited about it.
Bet you're fun at parties?! :D

Ummm you don't own the box now why would you own it later? I reckon it can be applied to existing boxes because why would they bring out the Samsung V+ and the V HD box (soon) if they were gonna be old tech by the end of the year?

sure i dont own the box but i payed £150 for the privilage of having one installed in my home and i cant see VM just installing them for free if you want the pleasure of having one.
i think your right i cant see VM making thousands of SA V+ boxes obsolete for the sake of a new interface.

clinteastman im great fun at parties you just wouldnt know !!!!!:D

That's as much as we get.

That's as much as we were ever going to get, it's a US centric event.

This is the sort of ui that we'll be getting though as Berkett specifically said look at tivo's new flash ui, whether it has the web elements is debatable, but I hope VM don't cripple it and it does, as being able to pull up that level of information on actors and directors is awesome.

Unless the existing boxes can run flash lite (and I very much doubt any but the new V HD box can) then it can't be.

Maybe a cut down version?

I'm surprised it got mentioned at all!

Not of this UI no. The entire base of this UI is flash lite.

Now they might be able to port their older UI, but really, what's the point? VM will want to use this partnership to upsell. I wouldn't be surprised if it was free for XL subscribers only, and subbed on lower tiers the same as V+.

Liked the remote, notice the four coloured buttons in a row on it? Something, up until now, has never been on US remotes. Me thinks they've nicked an idea from us for once.:)
