TiVo remote with a slideout keyboard
 
Dose anyone know if Virgin Media will be shiping a V/M version of the TiVo remote with a slideout keyboard.

I would think it would be great;)

I can confirm that the american style remote control with the slide out QWERTY keyboard, will launch before the end of this year.
The remotes will automatically be sent out to all TiVo customers at no cost.

Why would you need one when the new update give's you multi-tap entry (the same as a mobile) Unless like me you are a Blackberry user?

I guess it's a hint that there is much more to come for the TiVO box :)

A dedicated keyboard is so much easier to use than the current method or multi-tap which are both painfully slow methods of text entry

With the new update you can use the numbers like a mobile device. I'm using the update on my box and it works great :p

I just think a remote control with a qwerty keyboard will be great when/if virgin media get more apps.
