S1 owners have their own offer which was transmitted on their old TiVos.

That's a good sign though. We can't be that far off from a release to "normal" customers. I'm hoping being a VIP customer makes a difference!

I would love to have Lovefilm and some sort of Amazon on demand pay per view movies much like in the US on TIVO this way when you search for a film TIVO would have linear tv , lovefilm , filmflex and Amazon on Demand , with competition pay per view prices would likely drop.

Have no idea. I used Telewest before the Teleport (OD) features were introduced, but had switched to Sky for a few years, before coming back as Virgin Media was born.

It certainly would. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

Do you think VM have done enough of a build up of it. What are we now...two months since the announcement? :(

What a load of bull manure, and those of us that registered our interests the day the site went up get nothing yet.

Personally, no. If I wasn't a regular cableforum viewer I would never have even know about VM tivo when it was announced

First installs are on Wednesday 2nd, for us lucky S1 owners

I wonder if phoning up the sales team is worth a shot. Probably not though to be honest.

Out of interest, when did you register your interest for VM TiVo?
