YES

Strong growth in sales of TiVo digital television recorders also helped boost the company’s revenue. The company added 127,000 subscribers to the product in the quarter and said it currently has 222,000 customers. To illustrate the speed of take-up, the company said it had installed a TiVo box into a customers’ home every minute of the day for July, August and September of this year.

Virgin Media had 35,000 at the end of Q2 then add 127,000 comes to 162,000. Virgin Media added another 60,000 between 1st october and 26th october.

The best way to watch TV
In the quarter we started to market and sell our new TiVo service to new customers and since July have
been running our first TiVo TV advertising campaign. The strong early demand for this service has
exceeded our high expectations and by the end of the quarter we had 162,900 TiVo customers, more than
four times the number of customers with which we entered the quarter. We are seeing this demand for TiVo
from both new and existing customers, with around one third of all TiVo subscribers being new to Virgin
Media. Growth has continued strongly in October, and we had 222,000 TiVo customers as of 26th October.

Got to admit I'm looking forward to having a chance to play around with TIVO when my parents get installed at the end of this month, they'll be sick of seeing me at their house  At the moment I've used a Premiere briefly on holiday and a brief go of VM TIVO in store and at a friends.
