It's Media Boy's thread so he should decide and, as you point out, he too makes announcements regarding technology such as TiVo in 'Post One'. So I am saying that, like a channel that is coming soon, TiVo can, IMHO, be discussed here. Admittedly some of the discussion so far has been detailed speculation on how it might work when it arrives but we've always had that.

If you mention a sports channel, we get discussion on footie, wrestling, american football, basketball etc. but nobody seems to complain.

I was simply stating my understanding of what constitutes 'Coming Soon to Virgin TV' and my opinion on what I believe belongs in this thread. There is nothing to suggest that it relates solely to channels (in the traditional sense) or content and, even if it did, as TiVo will bring new content in the form of channels, movies, archives, web content (e.g. IMDb, YouTube etc.) it is valid to discuss what and how it might deliver these. If you exclude TiVo on the basis of this thread being only for channels coming, going or changing, you would have to exclude On Demand, Search, HD, Red Button and a whole host of other things that are not related to plain vanilla TV channels.

I am not aware of any restriction on the use of the highlighting features of the forum software (e.g. bold, italic, underline or colour) in order to clarify a post.

Lew, that isn't particularly helpful. People still don't know if they should or should not submit posts regarding TiVo. PMs will not determine whether or not the majority of people wish the advent of TiVo to be discussed in this thread. By all means please express your own opinion on the matter as a user or take a stance as a moderator and set up a poll thread to decide whether TiVo and other non-vanilla flavoured items like those I mentioned above are valid for discussion here.

As it happens, TiVo is a long way off for me so, for now, I'm just defending the right to discuss it's potential impact on our viewing experience in the future.

Oh, and one more thing, if anyone just wants the succinct version of what and when things are happening there's always the Virgin Media Changelog to check on.
