Seems to me that Virgin are operating the Apple business model, pay for fixing problems. To me I feel we are paying extra for Virgin to provide a reliable up to date service and fixing their existing problem with current equipment/solution. When you lease a car it normally gets upgraded after period time for free, you don’t pay anymore other than the usual increases through inflation etc. So why should it be different for renting a TV service, it should be update and enhanced as matter of course? Most of the features of the Tivo are available from Net TV’s, blue ray players, PS3, media boxes, xbox and Iphone etc for free. So what are we paying for?
