While TiVo’s US retail operation hasn’t fared so well in recent years, Virgin Media has seen great success from the TiVo platform in the UK… having just crossed the 2 million customer mark after about three years of availability. Virgin’s experience is largely TiVo as we know it, yet the 3-tuner hardware is foreign to us, as is the tent pole BBC iPlayer app. And with all their success, outfitting nearly 50% of television customers, we find it less likely Virgin’s new owners would dramatically drop TiVo for Liberty’s Horizon.
