Dont expect TIVO soon

Superior it may be, but the high speeds are just an enabler. What is "game-changing", says Berkett, is Virgin Media's new internet-enabled cable TV box, which will be available to all of its cable TV customers in a few months.

Mainly concentrating on Broadband

Berkett's world is distinctly less Hollywood. Today's Virgin Media is all about the digital experience and Berkett often points to Virgin's advantage over BSkyB and BT in "connectivity", his way of describing the benefits of super-fast broadband.

It indicates that the TIVO will be available to premium customers sooner. It actually says we should have it now, but i gues he's refering to the Staff who currently have it.
As has already been pointed out here in the TiVo thread, these are not quotes from Neil but mis-interpretations by the journalist. It's not a very well researched piece IMHO.

Neil sees VM's future as a supplier of fully integrated TV, broadband and other digital media. It's not just about faster broadband for web access but using that technology to deliver the other services, such as enhanced TV, as well as mobile broadband and mobile TV.

You don't have to want it all or have it all but the aim is to provide the mechanism to deliver it all via a common infrastructure.
