Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Just spoke to Retentions department and had some worrying news. They don't have much info really, nothing about pricing structures or release dates but apparently they have been told there will be 2 versions of the TiVo box:

320Gb = £249 (with a possible £40 install fee)
1Tb = £299 (with a possible £40 install fee)

Guy on the phone said it was "in line with Sky's pricing for its HD boxes". He sounded like he actually knew what he was talking about which was good, if a little worrying.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

As no pricing for TiVo hasn't been announced at all, I have no idea where they got those from

Retentions are no different to any other frontline team - they get to find out at the same time as everyone else

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

I've always thought that the TiVo was going to be part of a subscription as apposed to being available separate?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

they really should have 1.5TB drives as they cost very little more, they'd have a nice marketing advantage over the Sky+HD box too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

why not 3tb a little bit more price but hay deifntely sometihng they can market with ;) maybe 3tb as option for more space but bit more price wiise

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Why does it say US Boxsets instead on NBC Universal on demand? Some of the shows arent working by the way eg: 30 Rock 1st show plays for a few seconds then goes back to the menu.

I guess HD shows will be added later, any plans for Catch Up TV shows from any of the NBC Universal channels in there?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

What makes this info. especially suspicious is VM have never mentioned two sizes of hard drives. Only a 1Tb has ever been mentioned. Tivo do two sizes but I don't think it would be worth VM offering a choice of sizes. It would be an unnecessary complication of their pvr range.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Not sure, that's just what they have decided to call it. Yeah I can replicate the 30 rock issue on my box too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

They could market having the eSATA port enabled which would allow you to expand the disc storage as required - they could even sell (sorry rent) the additional hard discs and could keep the external hard disc content encrypted and paired to just one box to prevent digital copies proliferating. Or that could just disable the eSATA port and miss a great opportunity.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
 

Well Sky do at least 2 different sizes, bear in mind that not all users will want 1Tb drives, many survive on 160Gb at the moment.

The guy told me to keep an eye on here and Digital Spy as well.
