Can't you sneak in after work and have a play ;)
or did VM bring it and take it back again ?

I linked to that review before, but I'd like to see a review from a TiVo user,
if that reviewer had used a TiVo, he certainly didn't mention it, or make any comparisons.

Does it say much? As I run NoScript and it warned me that the review linked in 15 other external web sites including crap like facebook....

No malware I promise you. If you won't visit sites with OpenGraph links you're going to be a bit limited with your browsing options!

Hands-on at their place unfortunately. Patrick doesn't own a S1, no.

Pocket-lint review - http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/37064/virgin-media-tivo-box-unveiled

Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo unveiled and in-depth hands-on
EXCLUSIVE: Photos, screengrabs, the lot!

"It is, quite simply, stunning. Both super quick and intuitive, there's a raft of cunning technologies whizzing about behind the scenes that make for the most pleasant TV experience on the market today."

This website works perfectly with NoScript in place.

Needing to link in 15 external sites??
