I agree - I am sure that they could allow Tivo to say stream from a server or PC on the same LAN. That would be a welcome addition and would negate the need for a Roku or Apple TV etc.

If you read the actual article it turns out it was the chairman of the rugby club who just happened to be an MP. There was no political pressure on VM at all, and there shouldn't be for something as pathetic as it was!

Don't shoot the messenger! Rightly or wrongly, and whatever we personally feel about MP's, they do have a lot of influence in business circles.

Oh the joy that would come with running a Plex server through Tivo. I wouldn't need to turn the thing off unless I wanted to watch a bluray or play on ps3!

The chairman of a rugby club whether an MP or not is highly unlikely to be able to get a company as large as VM to add or remove channels.

Lifetime HD is not being BARB Reported, and was not submitted with Lifetime and Lifetime +1 which would suggest it isn't being launched.

Bio will also not finish BARB reporting on the 3rd November

Obviously the Sky box has Wi-Fi for anytime or on demand, but that's not necessary on a cable box.

There's no need for WI-FI on Tivo when there’s a dedicated 10mb that vm could up grade the speed, if you want to stream videos to other tivo there’s no other way but use cable you will get a better result than to clog up your WI-FI ;)
