Virgin Media have announced their new STB based on TiVo tech.

I've never used a TiVo, but the UI looks pretty cool. I'd go as far as saying that it's potentially a 7MC DVR beater, esp. when we consider 3D, 1 TB storage & able to take data from that cable that carries your TV signal.
It's certainly a serious step forward for VM, when we consider their clunky, two press to make it work current STB and will certainly put the Sky+ box in second place in the consumer STB space.
I expect this package to be a premium STB offering, probably coming in at around at least £50 pcm.
BUT, for many Sky customers, they pay a bit of this anyway as £13 has to go on BT line rental - I think, whereas you get a 'free' landline with the TV package on VM, IIRC.
7MC certainly has some competition now with YouView & this offering.
