Where do Virgin advertise that they offer the advanced Tivo facilities such as TivoToGo? Personally, I wish they would, but they are only advertising that they offer the tivo service. They do not advertise that they offer the same optional extras offered by Tivo.
Tivo advertise those services, but they don't advertise in the UK and as a user, your contract is not with Tivo.

May I remind you that Virgin Media have done this before (started back in Telewest/NTL days) when broadband internet speeds were started as a maximum of 1Mbps when the fibre optic network is capable of (and has been without any modifications whatsoever for many years) more than 100 times this speed with very little cost to the service provider.

The cables themselves may not have changed, but the hardware using those cables has been extensively upgraded. In any large scale fibre network, the limitations on bandwidth are actually imposed by the hardware running the service.

One simple reason. When you copy via Scart there is a loss of quality, even if recording SD content. Backing up to HDD would enable you to make perfect copies.
