I don't think so as the Virgin Media corporate Twitter account tweeted a pic of it yesterday. Advising news will be out today.

Good grief, I was looking for a slot to insert a betamax tape :D The original UK Tivo series 1 was so much more stylish. Still, I won't be hanging around for it.

The current TiVo is nice and sleek looking but that looks like a big brick.

However as there is nothing to compare its scale with, maybe it will be smaller than we think.

Well pounced upon Den. Looks like as expected but could it be quite a small box ie Apple TV/Roku sized?
