Do not forget that VM have had only one price increase in 2 years and all the others we down to SKY?

It's taken a lot less than a year to get it on the 19 other box models, so why do you think the one TiVo box will take longer?

Well Media boy mentioned mid 2012 and with Virgins vagueness do not expect it anytime soon.

It has been said that it could be August, but what then, trouble is VM is far behind the times, it could be months before this happens.

Everyone is arguing with each other on this matter, the Red button has been out a long time with Sky, but with VM we are still waiting, so when people watch Sky Sports, what the point when you don't have the technology that goes with it.

You would have thought that VM would have put news on the web site, but they won't. Said before VM is a long way behind Sky.

No l would not say Virgin are behind Sky as Virgin has strengths which Sky does not have and never will have like fibre optic broadband , tivo and much more video on demand then Sky.

Why are we a long way behind SKY as we have only had the red button a while

And it is not fully up and running. VM are not a content provider and do not have the channels to do this on, so they have to wait for all the content providers to allow them to do this?

RANT OVER!!!!!!!!!

It has been on Sky for ages as they built it and implemented it on their platform . Work is underway as Spiderplant has said to get the service up and running for all VM customers , with TIVO boxes to follow.
