Virgin Media customers, rejoice! Spotify is arriving on TiVo boxes today. It’s exclusive to Virgin and lets Spotify Premium subscribers tap into all their favourite tracks and playlists through their Virgin Media TiVo-enabled telly. Best of all, Virgin says you don’t need to do anything to enable it: Spotify will automatically appear in the Apps and Games section of your TiVo box. Call it an early Christmas present.
The Virgin Media TiVo box sat beneath your TV is about to get a little bit better. As of tonight, software updates will begin rolling out to all boxes to bring a slew of new features, support and bug fixes. Read on to find out just what they are.
Wow, Wednesday lunchtime already. What happened to the week? Well somehow we’re halfway through it, so what better time to catch up on some tech happenings.
This morning’s been a doozy, with Spotify teaming up with Virgin Media, Ofcom showing you where to move to next, and iPhone 5 September launch rumours gathering pace.
Telly fanatics, start your engines: a Virgin Media TiVo iPad app is on the way. The company’s just outed this lone press pic to tease it, and isn’t talking features or a release date yet, but we’ve pulled out a magnifying glass and scoured it for clues. Here’s what to expect from it.
We’ve been tracking the new Virgin Media TiVo service for a full year since it was first announced, and while a lot has happened in twelve months, you can now nab one for installation underneath your telly, just as we have.
The Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo is actually TiVo’s second foray into the UK, with the first in 2000 failing to gain traction on this side of the pond. The new TiVo however, backed by big baller Virgin Media, could make amends, especially with a focus on search and internet TV. In this Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo review we will see if this next-gen box was worth the wait.
If you’re a Virgin TiVo customer you’ll now be able to get your digital mitts on the third Virgin TiVo tuner. The new tuner activation means Virgin TiVo customers can record two programmes, and watch a third, all at the same time, giving some multitasking smarts to your TiVo box that other set top boxes can only dream of.
At the maximum TV capture you can push the TiVo box to record three live programmes at the same time, whilst watching something stored on your Virgin TiVo box hard drive.
