TIVO content question

I just got TIVO and whilst playing around with the search function, I came across the complete set of Stargate series 1-10. But none of them are available and it seems like most of what I search for is listed, but not available. Is this a fault or just a way for Virgin to make out that the TIVO has lots of programme content without actually having any of it? Or most likely am I missing something on the way you access this content.

Thanks
Setch

If it's not currently available on linear or VOD, then it offers episode guides, so you can set up WishLists. If you explore the show, it should tell you if it's on VOD too.

I really like the full series, season by season listings; it saves having to go to the computer and visit epguides.com or some similar site. It's a shame there isn't an associated IMDB app though, as the actors info is often far from comprehensive. It's really cool that you can create a wishlist for things that aren't currently on TVor VOD though.

Presumably, as per the US Tivo, if VM add Netflix or Lovefilm, they will turn up in the viewing options?
