There is a very good reason for the delays in certain aspects of VM's UK Tivo.
This was posted over on DS yesterday.

Reason being is because, it's a US product. It's been morphed/shaped to work with our standards.
Examples
-full screen categorized EPG (us tivo doesnt have that just an overlay)
-true on demand support (us tivo only has things equivalent to our iplayers etc etc)
-enhanced remote to add buttons like stop etc etc (us Tivo assumes you are going to watch it all)
so what happens is we ask them to implement something, and its out of the run of code so they then have to work to add it, study how it works over here, then implement it. then test it so it doesn't break stuff and if it does, repeat the process again till its right.
