Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
I have been told that TiVo will launch to some customers in late December with full launch in early 2011.

Look at the "now playing window" in the top right, same as mine!

That screen shot looks identical to the actual US TiVo service so I would think its probably pretty much what the VM service will also end up looking like rather than just a mock up.

What I should have said is that's not a live shot from a box, It's been built from TiVo's static assets.

What makes you say that? It could actually be a live screenshot

That's cause it's the same image that Tivo themselves have used

If you look a the "Now Playing" shot from the top right of the new image and the same section in my mock-up from March they are identical.
Also it's the same as two of the shots from TiVo's site:
http://www.tivo.com/products/tivo-premiere/index.html
So what I guess we have here is a shot "built" by TiVo as a target. That or they REALLY like that one frame from MDB.

when you say some customers do you mean and I hate to say the word but
Favouritism - Plus what if the customers they select wont want to pay a lot of money for it?

Yep that's my point, all these shots using the same assets. (My mockup is using their assets too)

Thinking about it seeing as the whole UI is built in flash it's probable a shot taken from a "Design" build of the flash front end, one that streams in static assets in solely for design purposes. So technically still not off a live box.

Eh?
Firstly I don't think it's going to be selected like that. Secondly, either customers will pay what it costs or they won't. If one customer doesn't want to, I'm sure there are plenty of others that will

I think it looks quite nice and much better then what we currently have.
Edit: Okay I see Nialli posted this on his blog earlier in the day. |
The menus and the text, set up reminds me of Sonys Play TV.
It looks sweet!
