Virgin will be launching a TiVo powered set top box alongside its TiVo connected TV line up before Christmas. The Virgin Media TiVo set top box will support HD and 3D, and will be carrying a whopping 1TB of storage.
In real terms, 1TB means enough to store around 500 hours of content. Couple that 1TB with Virgin Media TV on demand and you’ve got more than 4,600 hours of TV shows, films, music videos and catch up TV. The Virgin Media TiVo set top box will have its own dedicated internal modem that delivers HD video, meaning it will stream without slowing up your home internet connection.
There’s no details on pricing for the Virgin set top box yet, and a spokesperson said that the most they could say about an arrival date was “later this year”, of which there’s not much left. We’ll be updating when we hear anything more.
What do you think about the Virgin Media TiVo powered set top box? Will you be stumping up for one?
Out later this year | £TBC | Virgin Media
