David Tennant Catches Up With Virgin Media’s TiVo

Posted on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 by MegaZone

Virgin Media Logo Along with the launch of their new ‘Collections’, Virgin Media also adopted a new pitchman – David Tennant. They’d already released several videos, and now there’s another one. This one highlights the ‘Catch Up TV’ feature.

I’d love to see this integrated into the US units. As in the UK, keep the back-dated guide data going back a week or so. While we don’t have the dedicated catch up services like they have in the UK, we do have Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, and MSO On Demand services where supported. So the guide could link directly to the available service(s).

      I’ve noticed that on my Premiere, but I think it’d be even more useful if it was more like the UK.  Add icons to the guide showing which shows are available on the video services, and then have shortcuts to them right from the first info screen when you select the program.

      Right now you have to dive in and Explore the show and look to see if it is available or not.
