I would guess that Virgin will be using either WD Green Cavier or consumer Seagate drives in the PVR's, both resonable drives and fully capable.

The "PVR" drives you talk of are more than likely enterprise drives which whilst they are good, most businesses we deal with would not see it as cost effective to use them. It would terefore make no sense for Virgin to be using them.

Aside from that I'm very excited about the Tivo box, I just hope Virgin get it right, Tivo and 100mbit internet would be an ideal christmas present.....

Great first post
