TiVo plunges into Swedes after penetrating Virgin Media

The announcement that Com Hem of Sweden has cut a deal with TiVo this week shows how the TiVo strategy is rolling out in Europe and points to more and more deals being likely in the future. Expect it to drift outside of Europe soon, as well.

Com Hem gives another 643,000 cable customers in Europe a chance to buy TiVo service. In Europe this includes all the DVR capability, but far more importantly the search-and-recommendation service that has positively caught fire in the UK, and which is also beginning to take off at Ono in Spain.

Sorry to disappoint you.I have no real feelings either way about this piece of kit.If its whats supplied so be it. My only gripe was that Virgin were after a premium ( do not blame them for that). and at the time a hefty extra cost to supply /fit .

For what was/is a PVR . That in my case ( please note my) offered nothing over the V+. If its standard & at the standard cost great,It looks better than the V+. One gripe, small, would like it to lose the stand by lights !!!! Not a worry as V+ is in the bedroom. BBC red button seems to be working. Even if the picture is poor ( reminds me of super 8 film )
