If so then it brings it more or less in line with Sky Multiroom. Bang goes another USP for VM
Virgin a great USP, Every TiVo is connected to a 10Mb broadband connection and is capable of running "Apps". I'm just not sure that Virginmedia know how to exploit it.

Netflix, Crackle, Love-film etc should be there NOW, They should also consider a cheap connected box like an apple TV that they include with all broadband connection 50mb or higher.

I would buy a cheap VMtv box that had no activation fee but simply allowed me to get Netflix/Love-film apps ect. Maybe with the option to add some tv is I wanted.

It wouldn't need a hard-drive, VM should get the jump on this and do it now, its the future....I'm just not sure TiVo hasn't arrived just a little too late unless they start filling it with USEFUL apps.

I'm no expert in this field and I know VM will have people who are, but "Instant" Ondemand is the future and VM can deliver it now, Just make sure they have the best content and get a head start.
