Well the results are in:

Page 5:
"The strong early demand for this service has matched our high expectations and, as of 26th July, we had approximately 50,000 installed TiVo customers."
As posted about 3 weeks ago on this thread I suspected Tivo was not a major sucess so far, and these figures prove it. 65,000 pre registers in April, plus a price slash at the beginning of this month and so far only 50,000 TiVo's have been installed. Got to remember there are people posting here and other forums who have 2 and even 3 TiVo boxes so it's not as if 50,000 unique customers have taken the service. Plus there was a couple of thousand customers who received TiVo free at the start too.
Poor, poor results. Maybe Virgin should refocus their attention to HD channels and other content. I suspect another price slash for TiVo will be coming soon!
