Cable Forum - View Single Post - Will Virgin ever fix the numerous Liberate bugs?

Let's just be clear here... the V+HD for as long as it's in customers homes, will be fully supported.

All current bugs are being worked on, but some minor issues may not be cost effective to carry on researching. IMO

Plus it's better for the customer to be on the TiVo platform. the Liberate system is very old now (in tv terms!), so no matter how much the Liberate system is patched and fixed, it's still old technology from the former cable-cos.

It's going to cost VM a small fortune moving everyone over, but a superior platform is worth it.

Sky's platform is creaking too, that's why they are only giving out Sky+HD boxes.
