Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I've only seen Cable as Analogue and briefly as Telewest (prior to TV Drive) before moving over to Virgin a few years ago where the software pretty much looks the same in terms of colours.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I got a free 2nd TiVo box today! Had the installation booked in a few weeks back to replace my current V+HD box. They didn't book in a time for installation that was suitable so I gave them a call to change it. After rearranging the appointment the lady said we can relocate your existing box for free so I said yes.
Today the enginneer came round with two TiVo boxes as that what was on his work order. I got the paperwork from Virgin out and showed him that the paperwork that I got sent through the post, detailing the same as what I ordered. He phoned up customer services and they said I could keep the TiVo box for free and as I ordered before the price change to £3 a box so my monthly costs hasn't gone up either.
I had dodgy Freeview reception for the last few years (often unwatchable) in the bedroom so I'm well chuffed.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
THE BATTLE IS JOINED! 
5 year old, trusty TV Drive swapped out for a 500Gb TiVo this morning, joining its 1TB 'big brother' TiVo in HDFootyMan HQ.
Along with an existing trio of 200Mb Homeplugs, the TiVos are now waiting for some streaming fun.....whenever you're ready, Virgin.

Yes i have seen it and It looks very good. Nick will we ever be able to watch live tv on the iOS TiVo Buddy app in the future and going by the pictures that must be a yes.

It's technically possible, and we're really excited by that potential. We want to make sure that it's a consistent service with your TV subscription and until the commercials play out, I've got nothing to confirm or deny on this subject. Our Virgin Media Player service is getting better and better (just added Sky Anytime) and we're putting a lot of work into bringing it forward and interacting with the TiVo world, so it's certainly a developing picture.

My guess would be there talking about a Virgin Media Player TiVo app, that's a guess though.
