Virgin Media sources has told Media Boy HQ today that Virgin will begin installing a soft launch of a new firmware update to the TiVo boxes.
The update will change the look of the user interface, improve the start up time and offer other small changes/improvements.
To get an idea of the new look if you go to virginmedia.com the colour scheme is the same with the purple background, white text and the new red Virgin Media logo.
A few regions will get it on Tuesday with the majority of the boxes to be updated by October 28th.

If this is and I so hope it is, the Haxe / death of Flash update that Todd Kulick Vice President of Technology and Principal Engineer at TiVo Inc. is talking about then there's a whole lot more going on than small changes. Check out his WWX2014 speech (link below). A possibility of a 30% speed increase even for legacy box's like the Premier which Virgin's TiVo is based on, is just one of the developments that makes me extremely happy.

It's an hour long, Tod Kulic is no Steve Jobs and it's a geeky tech conference where a lot of what is said flies straight over my head but I couldn't stop watching.
