Let me guess
Hi guys we can have great a great deal on this "new " box . It works well in the States.
It can record 3 programmes at the same time.As long as you don`t want to watch another on live tv. but you can watch something you have recorded,Ok that can be lived with.

It CANNOT support the most up to date way one of the main TV channels stream shows but who will care, when they see all the great apps it will offer just like a tablet. So you can use it like a tablet , phone calls live messenger etc.No - but you can play Hang man who would want anything else! Whats more you wont need to buy a TV guide as it goes two weeks ahead- great it adapts as programmes change?
No but who will care when you can search for what else that guy from rainbow is in!

Hasn`t it been used in the UK before,Yes and SKY the most successful provider dropped it. Well that a real good reason to get it !

Think of all the great positive write ups it will get & we can always say that it is coming soon Or blame other people because of our short slightness .
And so it came to Virgin.

Thats just your view. When i had Tivo i loved it. I didnt want to go back to V+. Some people like Tvio and some people dont. Not everything is for everyone
