Virgin Media TiVo Updates Reinforce Roadmap

Over on the TiVo Community, one member who identifies himself as representing Virgin Media Customer Relations has posted a long list of possible VM TiVo enhancements. Amongst the bullet points…

As you might expect, UK customers will ultimately receive access to the iPad app we currently enjoy here in the US. However, it appears TiVo To Go is not a can of worms that Virgin (or TiVo) is prepared to open in their market. We know TiVo-to-TiVo streaming is in the works and Virgin’s down for a 2011 or 2012 update to enable multiroom viewing. Interestingly, “Keir” alludes to personalized Sezmi-esque recording queues (twice!) that TiVo inadvertently leaked via screengrab at the Premiere launch:

Keir provides various other details in his post, but they may only appeal to Virgin Media customers or TiVo investors. And please take it all with a grain of salt, as I can’t vouch for his identity or the information. However, in an exchange I had with him over the weekend, Keir indicates the info was emailed to him via a VM colleague “who deals with the TiVo team” and there’s nothing truly outlandish here. Making it all the more believable.
