Can't believe that they made a new series. His Swansea call centre businesses all went under, everything is in administration.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
Was speaking to a Virgin staff member in the CEO's office after I complained to them, during our conversation he told me he had the new Tivo installed at home for testing and that they hoped it would be out by summer. Didn't say too much about it other than it was a faster much improved Tivo compared to what we have now with more tuners

Always take things like that with a pince of salt, either most people won't know much at all or those that are actually alpha/beta testing will have signed an NDA and will not be able to say a word(I know as I used to be one of them) Am in a similar situation with my current employer too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
Sky Atlantic will not be on virgin media until 2019 at the earliest.
VM are looking into gaining more exclusive on demand content Salem is currently on their radar according to a rumour.
ITV Encore could launch on VM as early as Autumn this year.

Still, given that the guy would be under a NDA, maybe best not to read too much in to that?
It does make me wonder where VM have decided to pitch a new box. After all, how many average customers want/need the functionality of a Tivo Bolt/Sky Q? Many will be happy with just a faster Tivo with a couple of extra tuners.
