I'm mean is there launch date for the new software or is that launching with new box

We do not know when the new software will launch (Base on past updates it will be area by area)

That launch date is for the new TiVo box (Virgin Media UK are testing it right now).

That sounds like it's on its way in the summer but until then - enjoy the new enhancements and new apps.

So is the new software seperate for old TiVo or is that part of new TiVo only
