The full red button functionality
And several other things a year on from launch

The iPad app seems to be an anomaly as they could release a it in its current form but for some bizarre reason they want to hold on and add more features these seems more a Virgin thing then Tivo;
They have never said Lovefilm or Netflix is coming so stop waiting;
Multiroom streaming as I am sure you are aware is being held up by rights issues, most broadcasters are clinging to a old model and are afraid to try anything new;
They only announced reminders in Feb so at least give them time to code and test the next firmware these things take time, we have had far better software updates then we ever had under Liberate;
red button has already launched for Sky Sports, for all we know the hold up could be the BBC or maybe they want to make sure they can handle all 24 Olympic streams before launching?
A year in software design is a very short space of time, in fact there are things that we have in our Tivio that Tivo have now ported over to the US like the mini guide. all these things will come, if Virgin rush all this to market they would then have people complaining here that they can't do anything right and have rushed a unfinished SW update that doesn't work.
