Re: The future of TV
I tried to reply to your post in the Virgin TV forum, but I assume you deleted it? I think it looks potentially a really good bit of kit, and proper competition for TiVo, so hopefully Virgin will feel under pressure to any premium apps that spreaappear on youview. At launch it appears to be a similar product but with obviously fewer channels, except they seem to be prepared to trust their customers to network the box themselves, but TiVo does have the advantage of not eating a chunk out of your downloadallowance eevery time you watch something on demand. That said, Virgin are now facing a threat to their fibre broadband product and their connected stb product. Bt have the football rights and I'm sure they'll look to shift a few youview boxes off the back of that. It will be interesting to see how Virgin respond.
