The hardware is custom but again will be based on TiVo Premiere in the US

In fact it was only because of Virgin's requirement to have a 3 tuner box that TiVo wrote the code that now allows them to do Premiere 4

All the current TiVo Premiere boxes use Flash - because as I said the majority of the code is the same.

In addition to the tuner code, other VM requested changes have transferred back across to US TiVo, such as the HD EPG and mini guide
