The cable TV company says it will update its ageing TiVO HD set-top box this year, and is developing a 4K version to take on Sky Q.
The recent launch of Sky Q has left the cable TV operator Virgin Media trailing in its wake.
Given that it was 2011 when we first reviewed the original Virgin TiVO box, many would argue that an upgrade is long overdue.
Now Virgin Media has confirmed a 4K set-top box is in development and due for release in 2016. A spokesman told What Hi-Fi?: “There will be a new set-top box coming later this year, and it will support Ultra High Definition video.
"Before that we will be updating the existing TiVO set-top box to make its menus slicker and more picture-based.”
It is also believed Virgin is working on an upgrade to its existing series link feature that will include on-demand programmes from Netflix and other sources
That makes the TiVO box, with its three tuners and standard high definition, look rather miserly in comparison. The new Virgin 4K box is expected to offer a similar ability to Sky Q, allowing users to start watching a programme on a TV in one room, and then continue watching on a smartphone or tablet elsewhere.
Sadly no estimate
