“We are seeing this demand for TiVo from both new and existing customers, with around one third of all TiVo subscribers being new to Virgin Media.”

I’m sure it’s in the figures somewhere but overall how many new TV customers did Virgin attract in the last quarter?

The number of paying TV customers increased by 28,800; however churn in the lowest free “M” tier, with
34,500 net disconnections, meant the total TV customer base fell by 5,700 in the quarter.

These 34,500 customers most likely went to Freeview or Freesat.
