Why not, exactly? If TiVo can support apps like Netflix, the BBC I-Player, Hayu, etc, there's no reason why many more apps cannot be installed on it.

Virgin may have business reasons for not doing so, possibly, but this would be a unique selling point that many would value.

Of course, this is subject to the caveat that the new box is more powerful and future proofed for the next 10 years. People won't use these apps unless they are as responsive as other streaming devices currently on the market.
