We're in talks with a number different content providers like Love Film, as in the next few months we want to add the best apps, features and entertainment to the TiVo service.

H'mmm, that's what someone in the Virgin Media shop told me when I changed my mobile phone.
That was in October 2011!
Wouldn't get your hopes up just yet, folks!

I'm sure Virgin will have had talks with Lovefilm but as of yet they've not been able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
Who needs who more? Lovefilm can already be accessed via PC, iPad, Kindle Fire HD, XBOX 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Sony Smart TV, Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Cello Smart TV, Samsung Smart Blu-Ray Player, Sony Smart Blu-Ray Player, LG Smart Blu-Ray Player, Sony Home Cinema, Sony Network Media Player and SONY Network Media Player. Oh and a YouView launch has been strongly rumoured for a couple of months.
Personally I have 6 of the above listed devices. I'd imagine most customers with TiVo will have at least one of the above.
I can only assume it's not financially beneficial for Lovefilm to be on TiVo. Clearly Lovefilm are happy to have their product available as widely as possible. Virgin launched their TiVo box 26 months ago. If there was a real strong desire to have top quality apps like Lovefilm or Netflix they would have been added ages ago.
The apps I have on my LG Smart TV put the TiVo selection to shame.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
Have a WDTV as well as a pc hooked up to my LG smart tv, with all three being able to use premium services like lovefilm/netflix etc. Fully expect to go the way of just broadband and use on demand streaming as most viewing here is time-shifted anyway.
Netflix is on android too although im not sure if they block the hdmi port on phones of block the network sharing of video to the tv (which is awesome btw). Fully expect to see HDMI android sticks with built in wireless to get more popular as they are a very cheap way of making any tv a smart tv and at the same time providing a platform for premium streaming.

Just to clarify, Netflix is on the WDTV, but not Lovefilm.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
Update: BBC One Wales HD launched.
Quote:
The video feed was switched during the junction at 12:15 immediately before Bargain Hunt.
The ident jumped from BBC one to BBC one Wales and continuity cut from female English accent to a male Welsh one.

If you live in Scotland, BBC One Scotland is in HD on 108. It launched around 2 weeks ago.
