Why would it be on Tivo for? It isn't designed for tivo, sky boxes etc it is designed for tracking of shows and movies.
I think at the moment it's aimed more at people like myself who've cut the cord.

I agree, but you raised it in the Virgin Media forum, so I assumed you were making this connection.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Argos have great deals on NOW TV at the moment.
Now TV Box plus 6 months Entertainment Pass only £19.99.
http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4590602
Now TV Box plus 4 months SKY Movies pass only £19.99.
http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4536886
Sort out your years entertainment for only £99.95 (£8.33 per month)
You could probably make some money back selling the spare NOW TV boxes on E-bay or Amazon.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Is this the beginning of the end for illegal streaming?

This is what I did at the tail end of last year when Currys were shipping the boxes for £18. Sold all the spares but one for £5 so got £20 back which I spent on a Roku stick from Tescos' Ebay outlet center :-)

Unless they implement DPI I guess about the only thing they could do is to try and block access to the streaming servers. Seeing how stopping access to the major torrent listings sites is such a roaring success (not) it's mostly lip service IMHO.

A vpn gets around their blocks anyway and as long as you use a good quality vpn there isn't much speed loss, i use a vpn my speeds are 75mbs without the vpn on and with my vpn on they are at least 63mbs.
