TiVo is basically IPTV.

OK, well it's not that extreme.
It's delivered over different channels and protocols than the broadband service. Only the "on demand" stuff uses additional data. |

The TV service is the same as every other box VM uses. It takes no bandwidth away from other uses because it just receives the channels broadcast to every cabled home. The on demand stuff though IS different. Instead of relying on the headend to host the content then broadcast it like normal CATV to individual users (which was really seamlessly done and amazingly effective), it connects to a server using the built-in cablemodem and streams the video. iPlayer, youtube etc all use this method, as do the EPG updates. I dont know if VM still use the old on demand methods with Tivo for things like live events or on demand movies. |

Although I do know on demand on my box is dodgy (not tivo) I often get errors so I guess is issues on the old method when heavy customer density? |
