Cable Forum - View Single Post - TiVo How should Virgin offer the Olympics to their customers?

As we know yesterday it was announced that both SKY and Freesat will be offering full coverage of the Olympics to their customers, free of charge, via BBC One and BBC Three plus a further 24 live streams covering all events. These streams will launch as linear channels and will be recordable. The channels will be available in HD too, if you have a HD ready receiver.

Currently Virgin plan to cover all the streams too but only via a TiVo app. These will not be recordable based on the current TiVo software. There is however the possibility Virgin can secure a deal to carry all the streams as linear channels available to all of their TV customers, even those without TiVo.

What would you like to see Virgin do next?
