I believe the tuner on the left of the picture hasn't been activated.

Yes, but even then you can only toast three different flavours in it. The others are all exclusive to Sky.

Re: Virgin Media working on a TiVo with 4 tuners

Any HD pop-tarts?

Or pop-tarts+1 functionality, with the red-button option?

Re: Virgin Media working on a TiVo with 4 tuners

Given the time-stamp on these posts, I'm thinking the content of the posts and the time they were posted are inter-connected (by a certain type of liquid).

I'm betting some people have got sore heads this morning
