This thread is specifically about the 360 boxes, and Startover is new to Virgin TV itself as part of 360. It doesn't currently exist on TiVo/V6 outside of iPlayer, and the iPlayer app function isn't integrated into the TiVo EPG. |
Not that I'm much of an authority round here but I'm happy for it to be called a "new feature" if it does something that the V6 doesn't. A one button link to catch up on it's own wouldn't cut it for me - as if you really wanted to you could search On Demand. Same with a link to iPlayer "watch from start".
However as we've established it works on (currently a select few) channels where there are no alternative methods available of watching from the start I'm content with 'new feature'. Hopefully something that they can expand on as they negotiate with third parties.
