I've seen the BBC News app on my Samsung TV, suffice to say it makes the existing BBC MultiScreen app look like its running on a Sinclair Spectrum:

Of course, running that Sammy app uses my home broadband connection which is shared among other networked devices. The TiVo version of the BBC apps will of course, use that dedicated 10mb broadband connection which I've typed a lot about, but until now, feel that Virgin haven't really exploited. The BBC apps will change that.

Re: Virgin Media signs BBC sports coverage deal
We'll have to give it a miss as we forked out £99.95 for a second V+ box so no money left in the pot. Is there any chance of any of this content being available online through virgin media player or something.

Doing that would encourage a lot of non Virgin TV customers to Yourview

Well i now read The guardian fully and i think that is incorrect.

The additional video streams will only be available to Virgin Media customers who have a TiVo set-top box – a rival to BSkyB's Sky+ service that gives access to on-demand and interactive services.

Re: Virgin Media signs BBC sports coverage deal
That says nothing about whether they will be on YouView or not.
It's saying as a Virgin Media customer you'll need TiVo i.e. it won't be on the V+/V HD or V Box
