That's where my frustration lies.
Virgin's V box platform is technically not capable of receiving the CRB content due to the way the BBC have chosen to distribute it.

The BBC has an obligation to make it's content as widely available as possible, and have chose 'Connected' devices as the future way to do that. So if that covers both TiVo and a '£30 Media Streamer' then that's achieving that aim.

It's then your choice as to which route you go down.
