The whole razzmatazz of the original announcement and then...............silence.  |
TiVo in the US and indeed around the world has never had three tuners, so TiVo have had to write software bespoke for VM.
The 3rd tuner will be enabled in March. Stop worrying

I'm in the won't order till it's working camp. It's too easy to say 3rd tuner is simple upgrade, as above if it's that simple it should be on there now. Truth is adding a 3rd tuner to the tivo software could throw up all kinds of issues within the software that no one has foreseen. After all tivo have known the box would have 3 tuners ever since the first contracts were signed how long (2years??) ago.
