Got shouted down here, 18 months ago, for suggesting Virgin needed to think about a new box  |
Virgin/Tivo will have been working on a new box not long after the first VM Tivo was released here and the Premier was released in the USA; companies always plan a few years ahead for the next model especially in the consumer electronics industry.

It was not a bad move; Tivo has, by far, the best functionality of any PVR of that generation. It was not the fastest, but I'll take functionality over speed anytime. It was fast enough for me, though granted this software update seems to have slowed it down a bit; still very useable for me though. I assume that they are working on a fix for that.
The increased use of OTT services has now made this Tivo pretty much passed it's sell by date. Which is why a new generation of PVRS has started to appear; Sky Q for Sky and the new Tivo for VM.
I really don't get what your issue is; Maybe you would like Virgin to release a new PVR every year? Just be prepared to pay the increased cost if you do. Or, you could just move to another provider.
