Why are you here? You don't have VIRGIN TELEVISION.

Yes I do lol.

Is it M because you still have Virgin Broadband while you and your seemingly very Sky based family watch the plethora of multiroom boxes you get for free from the almighty god murdoch?

What ever services I have from Sky I Murdoch is aware or interested just like Richard branson is not overly interested in VM.

I would like something similar to this Start Over, even if it was only used to allow us to record back to the start of the program, rather than watch it from the start(delayed).

I would also like this, Watch Anywhere.

And this, Keyboard Remote

And I would like to be able to connect the TIVO to my home network, and use it as a Media Player. Something like this, Transfer to PC.

Obviously I would prefer if they sorted out all the bugs first, then added these things.

I agree with all of the above (except Facebook as I don't use it) and I'm not sure they'd include Lovefilm as it would make Filmflex relatively redundant (as well as Picturebox). As for games, the more the better. Will there be a day when we see Angry Birds-style games?

As for the keyboard, I think all Tivo users would want this but I've read here and elsewhere that Virgin aren't going to be doing one and instead are supposed to be enabling the SMS-text input functionality of the current remote (like on the old V+ remotes).

Searching in YT/iPlayer can be painfully slow.

I'd like to see some of the streaming internet TV channels available, such as mlb.tv, ESPN Player, NFL Gamepass, NFL Network. I'm sure there are plenty of non-US sports streams that people could suggest as well.

Now if they were to get those I would have to re think TiVo

I wish all the leagues and associations would set up services like those you mentioned.

[Lew]

OK, I wasn't actually meaning just sports streams, just that the examples I'd given were US sports so I meant other streams in general in addition to what I'd listed. Moshcam.com is a good example (that one's available on my Sony TV and Blu-ray player).

I would like to see a "Permanently delete all deleted programs" option. It's a pain having to delete everything twice individuality.

[Lew]

Why do you have to delete twice? Once it's in the deleted folder it's marked as safe to be overwritten anyway?

Is it? I didn't know that. I really should read the menus!

As to the thread title

"Tivo the future"

I think it was in 1998 when it was first released.

In 1998 wass the wishlist-YES
Was there suggestions-YES
Did it have PVR functions-YES
Could a user go backwards through the epg-YES.

So yes, in 1998 Tivo was the future.
