Think I'll wait until they add 3 tuners and then pay that... Not paying around £240 and £3 extra a month for just 2 tuners.

The box has 3 tuners, just only two are enabled. The third will be activated via firmware update early next year

Pretty poor that this 3 tuner should have been ready for launch.

I have a feeling it will be less of an issue with TiVo than you think. I'm betting that if they are any clashes, it will automatically search out another recording of that programme (e.g. on a +1 channel or on another day etc) and record that instead

Also from the video it looks like the Catch Up services are much more intergrated so you may even get pointed in the direction of those if it doesn't record

Not knocking it mate the demo looks pretty good just a shame about the 3 tuner.

Its good couse you always will be able to download new apps and install the latest software, just to wait for the right price to come:tu:

Got a few questions, with Tivo on VIP will you get 1 Tivo and 1 Vhd or 2 Tivo? If you only get 1 how much to upgrade both to Tivo? Will it still be extra to have HD premium channels on both? Finally will VM be releasing VIP100? Thanks Chris

Agree but that only applies if the programme you want to see is in catch up in the first place so only half solves the issue (I've has cases in the past where a programme has not been in catch up), thus need for 3rd tuner to guarentee you can record 2 programmes while watching a third. VM certainly do not want to lose this feature, it is a unique advatange over Sky and a mandatory requirement in my house! I could just not manage without this capability with the recording demands of my family and the peak period between 9 and 11pm where not all programmes you are wanting to record are later on catch up.

They aren't losing it. The box has three tuners, just the third one isn't switched on - yet

Agree, bad wording from me, I know it will come but just a shame they have to lose functionality for launching now. If they issued the firmware upodate in Q1 2011 will be fine but if Q4 2011 that will be bad news.
