Now that would be good
 

Looking at Virgin help & support forum.
Someone was complaining that the USB port was disabled.
That working would be to me a great step forward. So clearly its not going to happen :(

No it isn't. They're wrong.

However, it might only work for certain things; like USB keyboards and the Tivo Keyboard Remote Control and not things like transferring video, etc.

On Sky it seems to be random wether or not the USB ports on the boxes are powered. I have 3 boxes of which 2 have powered USB ports.

Theyre really useful as I have stripped down 2 Ethernet - wifi bridges and connected them internally to the Sky boxes USB port so the entire bridge is inside the Sky+HD box, save connecting to Ethernet for anytime+ an for when planner sharing is activated.


Also it looks nice an tidy with the wifi now inside the box.

I recharge my bike lights on mine.

But how do you fix the box to your Bike & how do you get away with having a TV on it. Is not the picture shaky :D

Well it's not like he needs the 3D capability :p:

I power my raspberry pi media centre off my tivo box:)

I imagine any keyboard would be infrared like the old Telewest active digital keyboard


The USB ports will just be to charge a mobile phone

You can use a USB wired keyboard in the TiVo, well you could a few updates ago

Wired, wireless, bluetooth; all work :)

We use them to charge our 3D specs. They are disabled for any kind of data transfer ( ipod etc.). They do provide 5v to charge devices. If you buy the US qwerty remote which is bluetooth that will work with a bluetooth dongle plugged into the Tivo.
