Now that is the sort of apps needed , especially if a deal could be struck for cheaper access.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

I for one hope this one's true. Lovefilm and Netflix are exactly the type of content TiVo needs. Fingers crossed.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

This would be brilliant and also if they gave the customers the choice of these or SKY movies ( VIP packs where Sky movies are included)

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

Exactly.:clap:

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

My thoughts only - I've not seen anything

Maybe there would be 2 tiers -

have own Loveflix account and access via TiVo app or other valid method, pay standard fee as individual

subscribe to services via VM for discount rate, pay VM who pass on to supplier, more limited in that only accessible via VM

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

I agree with you Devil , this has been my main criticism of TIVO for sometime , video content apps are what's needed so this is a real positive if it pans out.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

The question is now will we get them before the years end or will it be bracketed and put in the coming soon department.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

As an existing user of Netflix, I received an email inviting me to participate in a survey about the pay-tv premium movie industry and it was done by the Competition Commision and they were asking a lot of questions about Netflix and Sky Movies.

I think the Competition Commision would recommend the Netflix and Lovefilm features on Tivo as it offers more competition with Sky Movies and therefore think that it will arrive probably around summer.

Netflix has become increasingly popular in the UK mostly because of the free trial, but for people to pay £6 per month, I think more people would pay this if it was available on services such as Tivo, I would anyway.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

From what I can glean from their respective websites it looks to me that Lovefilm have a more interesting range of material than Netflix. If and when this happens I hope we get the choice.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

Me too, i'd deffo subscribe. :)

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

Add me to that as well but the question is how long will we have to wait.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

Shouldn't be difficult great netflix android app out in no time.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

We've heard this before:

13 months later and the eBay app is still in Beta and the Facebook app is still MIA, but meanwhile we get 'exciting' promotional apps for True Blood and Harry Potter.

Suffice to say that I'm not getting too excited by today's news.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

That's because Netflix have only just arrived in the UK. The American audience have a much greater range of material.

Netflix will come into its own if the Competition have the guts to ban exclusivity deals, the type of which allow companies like Sky to hog the programmes and films for their own channels and then don't allow other providers a look in. That has got to stop, sooner or later. Let's hope it is a key Competition Commission ruling.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

Lovefilm has more, but personally, I think the content is better on Netflix.

But it's when it comes to picture quality, that Netflix wins hands down. I could put up with the Lovefilm quality streaming as I didn't use it much (there was no other legal subscription based alternative), but seeing how good Netflix is in comparison, I try to avoid Lovefilm streaming. I joined Lovefilm for Bluerays through the post, so no biggie that the streaming quality isn't that good.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

I can't comment on the quality of the streaming from Netflix and Lovefilm as I've seen neither but that is a very important point. From my (admittedly) quick look at the content of the two offerings it seemed to me that Netflix offered predominantly American content while Lovefilm seemed to have a fair sprinkling of UK and European content. Personally, I'd be more interested in the latter - providing, of course, the streaming quality was good. I'll be interested to see how this one develops.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

I would look forward to these being available through Tivo, but when it say's they are in talks with Virgin, i hope it won't take as long to sign an agreement as it takes Virgin so long to agree new channels.

Re: Virgin in talks with Netflix and love film
 

I would like Netflix and Lovefilm on VM sooner rather than later, it would improve the Virgin TV service!
