VM have looked at that remote but its not 100% that it will get released and if it ever does then it will be a purchasable upgrade.
The standard remote will have phone style text entry after the update. Maybe thats what the employee was told about.

Re: TiVo remote with a slideout keyboard
Once Spotify comes a calling this will be in high demand, they'd be silly to not offer it.

Re: TiVo remote with a slideout keyboard
If they decide to use it as a replacement for your normal remote if its faulty, I wonder how many remote's might slip into cups of tea by accident????

Re: TiVo remote with a slideout keyboard
I think I'm right in thinking that in the us this remote only works by bluetooth adaptor plugged into the back of the tivo premiere? If so it's a long way from the vm tivo.

Re: TiVo remote with a slideout keyboard
It will be a chargeable add-on product when it launches, it will not be a replacement remote for TiVo. Do a search and see how much they cost in the states 
The US version will NOT work with the UK VM TiVo

Would you pay roughly £46 for the Tivo remote with slideout keyboard ?
