I'm sure Virgin will have had talks with Lovefilm but as of yet they've not been able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
Who needs who more? Lovefilm can already be accessed via PC, iPad, Kindle Fire HD, XBOX 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Sony Smart TV, Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Cello Smart TV, Samsung Smart Blu-Ray Player, Sony Smart Blu-Ray Player, LG Smart Blu-Ray Player, Sony Home Cinema, Sony Network Media Player and SONY Network Media Player. Oh and a YouView launch has been strongly rumoured for a couple of months.
Personally I have 6 of the above listed devices. I'd imagine most customers with TiVo will have at least one of the above.
I can only assume it's not financially beneficial for Lovefilm to be on TiVo. Clearly Lovefilm are happy to have their product available as widely as possible. Virgin launched their TiVo box 26 months ago. If there was a real strong desire to have top quality apps like Lovefilm or Netflix they would have been added ages ago.
The apps I have on my LG Smart TV put the TiVo selection to shame.
