how can I test the new tivo box?
 

A little more info on the TiVo V+ box
Thanks to Media Boy and his insider for the following:

Virgin Media will launch the new TiVo powered STB to internal staff for trials next week.

The new box, as stated in the press release will feature 1TB of storage. After launch we will see the integration of the new Spotify service and Facebook, along with the option to stream and back-up recorded content to LAN devices (laptop and other STB etc), just like the US TiVo.
A new "peanut" remote will also be introduced and will differ slightly from the standard TiVo remote. Remote record will also be added.
The service will use its own dedicated modem (10Mb) for online content. The new HD EPG looks great and the overall feel is just like the current TiVo Premiere in the US.
Very interesting. The picture by the way is of the US TiVo Premiere, not the Virgin Media version - so that's what a "peanut" remote looks

Getting a job with Virgin Media seems to be the only real plan for getting on an internal staff trial.
