Introducing Virgin Media Cloud
Virgin Media Cloud is our cloud storage service, which lets you log on wherever you are to store, protect and share your personal documents and access them using your mobile*, PC or Tablet*.

Your content can be accessed from any device (PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone 8* or the browser) and is supported by a wide range of Apps*.
Access your photos, video and documents instantly from your mobile*, PC, Mac or Tablet* and share them straight from the Cloud by email, Facebook and Twitter.
Protect and automatically back up your content** on Virgin Media Cloud for complete peace of mind. This happens in the background when you are on wifi so you don’t need to do anything.
It’s easy to safely share your content across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Email and SMS.
Stream your videos and music wherever you are, all your need is an Internet connection
* We're currently working on Windows Phone 8 app support for Virgin Media Cloud - watch this space!
** Content backup is dependent on device.

That's all it is storage, so don't be confused this other app is something different

Ok thanks, so is this nothing to do with the TiVo stuff that Tazman says?

To me it just looks like a dropbox/google drive thing? And an expensive one at that!

I only signed up for this part

Watch your recorded programmes from your TiVo box

Which was acknowledged as coming later. Are you saying that will be a different app and not added to the one that Spiderplant linked to?

What has been added to TiVo today is a TV client for the Cloud storage. So you can now access your files on TiVo as well as computers and mobile devices.

Thats exactly what it is and very expensive for extra storage. Absolutely nothing to do with tv or tivo recordings. Just a cloud based storage for your own personal content.

Without being very negative ...why would i want to look at my photos on my tivo??? what is the point in a tivo app for the cloud??

i thought it was a new app for tvanywhere and was hoping id be able to watch recordings on it or better yet 3G streaming for channels on my phone...

how disappointing!

i thought i was missing something but come back to see i wasnt the only one.

So is this functionality of files from cloud storage from Tivo to view anywhere actually coming?

just re-read MB update and see the * sign for "coming soon", feel like Picard in that picture above

For some people, it may be the easiest way to display them on their TV?

Which begs the question, what kinds of files are supported? Video? Music? Photos?

I would like to know the same.

It would be a massive selling point for VM if it happens. The restrictions that MRS was saddled with will have to have been addressed though, otherwise it will be, like MRS, pretty useless.

Aye i suppose. Uploading a video of myself dancing about wearing a mask and then watching it seconds later on my tivo may be mildly amusing for a short while...if videos are supported!

You've always been able to upload all three to Cloud

my gut feeling suggest they haven't sorted it so will be still an issue

TAZMANUK · 23-04-2015, 17:20

Well on twitter they said it will be available across all platforms, so its confusing, has the virginmedia cloud been updated to include TiVo, and their is no other app, or a stand alone app???
