It is no doubt a product for the enthusiast and is a premium product which is what VM market and price it as. It will only become mainstream cable when VM decide they want that to happen. |

Re: TiVo
3 tuners is the killer app for me, I could not survive in our house without multiple recording capability at the same time (e.g. kids watch same recording several times and like to keep them for months after original recording, so even if it is on VOD/catch-up, still need it after long gone from VOD say). What Tivo does on top is excellent and wishlists is certainly a feature I am looking for.

How much functionality is there with the Sky system? |

Freeview is very much a competitor to both Sky and Virgin, especially when people's jobs are under threat. |

You could be right about Sky's box, I still couldn't find the article but i'm sure he compared it to some other consumer hardware that is limited in reach but a necessary part of their offer. I accept that functionally (but not technically, not at all and not just the HDD) it is the same as the standard box I just cannot help but suspect 1TB is overkill. No bias there, I think both boxes are too big for an average punter like me. It goes back to something I have said many times, how many 1TB boxes do you see on the highstreet. And in VM's case they have that much streamed catch up and OD content do the masses really need it? But I am on record as saying that when VM get that cheaper box out and widen it's availability I think they could have a pretty successful product on their hands. But I suspect not at the current price though and only being available to XL customers even though I think the hardware cost is more than reasonable. The poll results are interesting particualrly when the respondents are members of a forum like this and have gone out of their way to register for the service. But maybe the figures are in line with VM's expectations though or even better, you will know better than me. Time will tell. |
