As I said in my previous post, I am referring to 'HD' content which VM do have rights to, for instance the same program recorded on BBC1 can be played on another TiVo, but the HD recording of the same program cannot. Especially when BBC say there is no reason why I should be able to play either or - it being BBC's own content:

Generally speaking any Virgin viewer can watch BBC content from the past 7 days via the iPlayer application on any VM box (be it TiVo or otherwise). Therefore we are not aware of any copyright restrictions which would prevent you from watching on a multi room service basis.

We will endeavour to raise this with the Virgin Centre call team, to ensure there is absolute clarity around this issue.
