Yes but it's a good excuse to charge more for the product!

According to the virgin forum site there are going to be an update to the TIVO hand in hand with the Netflix trials. At the moment only to the trial area but when the Netflix app is made fully available, will go out to everyone.

Though to be honest don't see much of any significance that will make everyone here happy.

So, what’s new with TiVo?



Even more great entertainment at your fingertips with Netflix.



You can now watch Netflix using your TiVo box if you’re a Netflix customer already or by registering at www.netflix.com/virginmedia. To see what’s on Netflix hit the Home button, go to Apps & Games > TV & Movies, and select the Netflix icon. You can also find Netflix films and shows using TiVo search.



Say hello to your more energy-efficient, money-saving TiVo box.



To save on energy (and your monthly bills), your TiVo box will now automatically go into Standby if you haven’t used it for four hours. To change the default to save more energy or to switch this off go to Help & Settings > Settings > Devices > Power Saving Settings.



To wake your TiVo box up again just press the <Home> or <Power> button on your TiVo remote.

This means you won’t need to switch your TiVo box off at the mains every night as it will help save energy itself now. Even when saving energy your TiVo box will wake up to make any recordings you’ve requested.



It’s easier to find the stars and shows you love with WishList™.



We’ve made WishLists™ even easier to set up. Just let TiVo know the actors, directors or shows you can’t bear to miss and TiVo will automatically record anything that fits the bill. And you can do it without interrupting what you’re watching.


We’ve even redesigned the WishList™ menus in HD, so they look that little bit nicer.



Clever TiVo will make even better Suggestions for you.


TiVo will suggest more of the shows and films you love based on the stuff you record and give the Thumbs Up.



Discover your new Discovery Bar.



Your brand new Discovery bar makes it much clearer why we’ve suggested films and programmes for you to watch, whether it’s a live sports event, it’s similar to other programmes you’ve enjoyed, or simply because our team have handpicked it for you to enjoy.



Accessibility



We’ve now introduced high contrast displays for some of our screens, these include our full screen guide, mini guide and channel banner.


To turn this on go to Home >Help & Settings > Settings > Display and Subtitles > High Contrast Display

I hope they have added the other HD screens that the US Premier got a few months ago; My Planned Recordings and Manage My Series Links.

I wonder why there was no mention of them?

They have just picked some tent-pole features there.
