I don't think so as the Virgin Media corporate Twitter account tweeted a pic of it yesterday. Advising news will be out today.

Clearly following the Xbox ONE/PS4 school of design (more XBONE than PS4). This is not a good thing IMO, as I find both consoles ugly, and in the case of the Xbox ONE, I find the design a little brutal.

Good grief, I was looking for a slot to insert a betamax tape  The original UK Tivo series 1 was so much more stylish. Still, I won't be hanging around for it.

Re: Virgin Media will launch a new set-top box
The current TiVo is nice and sleek looking but that looks like a big brick.
However as there is nothing to compare its scale with, maybe it will be smaller than we think.
