They can't risk haing a balls up over Xmas

Most companies have the same policy.

You are assuming that it hasn't already been approved and is just waiting for the rollout of 15.2 before being made available for download.

You are right.

The app will launch with the next software update "in the coming months".

Between october 1st and october 25th they added 60,000 tivo customers.

i work out
roughly 2.35 per tivo's installed per minute x 60 = 141 x by virgin media opening hours which i think is 17 hours x by 25 days = 59,995 tivo installs roughly

I don't know if you're privy to other sources but if there are 220,000 new TiVo users, your 67% means that virgin only has 331,344 TV subscribers in total!

If the previously quoted figure of 3.7 million customers is correct then 222,000 is approaching just 6% of the customer base.

I meant 67% customers that are upgrading tivo are existing customers. The other 33% are new customers. They are 222,000 tivo users. Go and read the press release.

Red Button interactive if that is what you mean is not available on TiVo as yet possibly coming before christmas,which is why at the moment i will not swap my now samsung V+ for a TiVo hope this helps you.

Thanks for the reply, but i didt mean the red button service sorry if i gave that impression.
I meant the access to news,weather,sports.(varius types)entertainment,travel etc. are these accessable from the menus? thanks again.

Not currently, but a full red button/interactive service will be available by end of Q1 next year.

Weather and entertainment apps are available though.

"When say a full red button/interactive service by the end of Q1 2012". Could BBC and Sky Sports come this year and the rest will come Q1 next year ?

We are working with our content partners to extend this with new Red Buttons services before the end of this year. We hope to have a full range of Red Button services early next year

It says red button services before the end of this year which most likely would be BBC and Sky Sports.
A full range would include QVC , Challenge , Cartoon Network etc.

but if you ordered Tivo you could move your v+ into another room for no extra monthly charge. You would only £3 per month. I personally think the free multiroom offer will end when tivo has full red button services.

Does anybody know the last available install date for TiVo before Xmas?

I notice on the Netflix site their now officially mentioning the UK with an option to register your email for updates on when the service becomes available.

You would imagine this service would end up on many connected devices.

If you ordered Tivo you best to order it ASAP because they are selling like hot cakes. and you still might not get a install date before christmas.

What is the average wait for a install date once place your TiVo order?
