I'm sure I've read elsewhere that VM are looking at introducing the slide remote later this year, also read on the USA Tivo site that it requires a dongle in the USB port for the box used in the USA, but we have the new Cisco box in the UK, so expect some development work required?

See link and comment below on the need for a USB dongle:

Since TiVo doesn't have Bluetooth radios built in, the remote comes with a USB dongle that is plugged into an available USB port on TiVo Series3, TiVo HD, or TiVo Premiere boxes.

Unless Cisco/VM have snuck a Bluetooth reciever inside the VM TiVo and not advertised it?

Don't suppose we would ever know unless someone cracks the thing open.
