Its a new piece of kit ( to Virgin) & the I want it brigade will defend it to the end.
It will date and be in a museum at some point ( think VHS, Betamax,
3.5" floppy - never mind 5" ,laser disks the list goes on).
Sorry guys its a PVR. Yes it has a lot of bells & whistles, & I am sure they are great fun. |
But your point could be said about any piece of technology as a matter of fact. I remember deliberately holding my Nokia 3210 in away so that everyone could see it when walking around. I was so proud of my cutting edge latest phone, now I wouldn't own on unless you paid me.
The fact for Tivo of even a Sky+hd box, they aren't latest technology or advanced in anyway as the both use off the shelf parts. But in the field of set boxes available in the UK the Tivo is the newest. In some ways Tivo "latest tech" may hold it back as the type of duel core cpu it uses it not very powerful. Its uses to many shared resources.
