Virgin’s TiVo-powered PVR will have three HD tuners, terabyte storage and could host iPhone-style apps.Which seems to contradict what Allan and Kathy have heard from Virgin Media.

It will have its own broadband modem, drawing bandwidth from Virgin’s cable network independent of customer broadband connections, and able to deliver three HD channels at once.
Virgin said user-available storage will be ‘on parity’ with other high end PVRs like the 1TB Sky+HD, in addition to hundreds of hours of HD on-demand, including BBC iPlayer’s hi-def stream.
