The future of TV. Now.

• Our new TiVo service gives you lots of new reasons to love your TV – you’ll watch all your favourite shows and have fun finding new ones. All the best entertainment, right there on your telly.

• You still get all your favourite channels, including your Sky favourites, Catch Up TV, hundreds of on demand movies and shows, and even handy web apps like Twitter and BBC iPlayer.

• Plus, you can pause and rewind live TV, record three shows while watching one you recorded earlier and even set it to record remotely from your laptop or mobile.

Take a closer look at TiVo

Like a lot of TV? Then you'll need somewhere to store it all• Wouldn't it be good if you didn't have to sacrifice the shows you've already

recorded, just to add a few new ones?• Our 1TB TiVo box has six times the storage of our V+ HD Box, giving you around

500 hours of standard TV or around 100 hours of HD TV. And with our 500GB TiVo box you can record around 250 hours of standard TV or around 50 hours of HD TV. So you won't have to worry about running out of space to store all your favourite TV.

Too much TV to watch at the same time? Record the lot• Does everyone in the house want to watch something different? With so much

great TV to watch, it's easy to see why there might be clashes. Luckily, our clever TiVo service makes it easy to avoid the arguments.

• Only Virgin Media gives you the freedom to record two shows while watching a third. Or record three shows while you watch something you've recorded earlier. So no one needs to miss out on the TV they love – and everyone is happy.

• If you delete something by accident, don't worry. TiVo keeps all your recently deleted files safe so you can undelete them and watch them when you want


Record your favourite shows, whether you're home or away• Not at home? Not a problem. You can still search for and record all the things you

want, either online or on your mobile. They'll be saved and ready to watch on your TiVo box when you get home.


Search & Browse, then findKnow what you want to watch? TiVo will find it. Looking for inspiration? TiVo will provide it. Discover

how TiVo makes sure you always have something great to watch.

Know what you want to watch? Let TiVo find it• With up to 175 channels and thousands of hours of On Demand programmes, it's sometimes

hard to find exactly what you want to watch. Our smart little box makes it easy.• Find things quicker and easier without having to channel hop or scroll endlessly through the

TV Guide. Your TiVo service will help you search specifically for anything – from your favourite shows to actors and directors, in a way no other TV service can.

• For example, you can search for a show you like, select it and find out more about the people who starred in it. Then you can select one of the actors. Then find out what else they've been in. And then watch that.

• As well as searching through the listings for what's on now, or coming up later, it'll search through all the great things you have available to you from Catch Up TV to TV On Demand and even to web content like YouTube.



Not sure what to look for? Have a Browse• You know those times when you think there's nothing on TV? Well, there probably is, you just

haven't found it yet. That's where the TiVo service can help. Get instant inspiration when you browse by theme or by genre and see what fits your mood.

• Fancy a laugh? Browse our Comedy folder and you might find the whole first series of The Inbetweeners, ready to watch right now On Demand, or see Misfits is just about to start on E4 or that a new series of Top Gear starts on Sunday. If the show's coming up in the future, you can press the 'Record' option and save it for later.



Travel back in time• We know what it's like to miss your favourite show. If you've forgotten to record it, relax. Your

TiVo box lets you scroll back in time using your TV Guide and watch any ITV, Channel 4 and Five programme from the last seven days that displays a Catch Up TV symbol.

• You can also catch up with BBC programmes on BBC iPlayer, which you can access by selecting a BBC channel and pressing the red button*.

*Red button services coming soon.

Clever stuffYour TiVo box doesn’t want you to miss out on TV that you’ll love. With clever stuff like

Wishlists™ and Suggestions, you'll never miss a thing.Don't want to miss your favourite shows? Create a WishList™• Annoying, isn't it, when you miss the start of a series you love, because you didn't realise it

was on air again? With your TiVo service, you won't miss a thing.• The unique WishLists feature will automatically record your favourite series, even if you

didn't know it had started again. Just create a WishList with your favourite show, actor or director, then sit back and let your TiVo service do the hard work for you. It takes features like Series Link to a whole new level!

Like that? You’ll love TiVo’s Suggestions• Ever find you're watching the same shows on the same channels, time and time again?• This is where your TiVo service comes into its own. Your TiVo box remembers what you like

and what you don't, so it can suggest new things you're more likely to love. You'll find two little symbols on your control – the unique 'Thumbs Up' and 'Thumbs Down' buttons. These let you rate what you watch instantly.

• So if you gave Megamind the 'Thumbs Up', it might suggest you catch other animated movies, like The Incredibles or Shrek 3. And in time, your TiVo box will learn exactly how to push your buttons.

• They'll be saved in a special Suggestions folder in My Shows or available On Demand, ready for you to watch when you want.

All the channels you love• We think you should have all the TV you want and all your favourite channels. That means Sky

channels like Sky 1 HD and Sky Living HD. Plus, add Sky Movies and Sky Sports if you fancy it, too.

• But we think you deserve more than that. Like being able to watch all your favourite programmes in HD, but without having to pay extra for it. That's why we give you up to 23 HD channels, with no extra monthly fee.

What you can watch with TiVo

You’ll never be short of something to watch if you’ve got one of our TiVo boxes. Choose from bucket loads of channels, watch your favourite programmes On Demand or catch up with the best of the week’s telly. So what do you want to watch?



Enjoy a whole world On Demand• Our TiVo service gives you access to a whole wide world of movies, TV and music on demand,

too. That's over 500 of the latest blockbusters (with lots available on the same day as their DVD release) as well as much-loved film classics like Mary Poppins.

• There are loads of TV series you can watch back to back, a bit like a box set. Dip into House, NCIS, Heroes, 30 Rock – plus thousands of others. Like all our shows in TV On Demand, you can play, pause and rewind them – just as with a DVD. Savour each episode one by one, or take over the TV and watch them back to back in one blissful Sunday haze.

• It's easy to find what you want to watch with Search. Or, if you're not sure what you're in the mood for, browse by collections, genres like comedy, action or drama and see what takes your fancy.



Catch Up on the TV you've missed• We know what it's like to miss your favourite TV show. So we give you Catch Up TV at no extra

cost.• You can catch up on any show from our pick of the week's TV. So if you didn't make it home in

time for last night's Coronation Street, no sweat. It'll be ready and waiting for you for the next seven days.

Handy little apps on your big screenGet yourself a TiVo box and you can enjoy web apps for some of your favourite websites such as

YouTube, BBC iPlayer, Twitter and eBay – without having to crowd around your computer or laptop.

Enjoy the best of YouTube and more from your sofa• Some things are too good to squint at on a small screen. That’s why TiVo lets you enjoy the

best of YouTube, all your favourite BBC iPlayer programmes and more on your TV screen in their full glory.

• Want to keep an eye on all your bids, tweets and updates? You can get it all on your TV screen, too. Check your bargains on eBay, keep up to date with Twitter, and check out your photos on Facebook.

• You can enjoy Spotify on your TiVo® service too, giving you direct access to all your playlists, so you'll have all your favourite music streaming through your TV.

• What's more, your box has its own up to 10Mb fibre optic broadband connection so it won't slow down your regular broadband service if anyone else in your home is online. And because your TiVo box is hooked up to the web, it'll automatically download the latest apps.

Virgin are looking to provide you with the best services in cable TV and internet packages . If you don’t want to

buy both, you can also make the most of just broadband and simple cable tv packages separately.

Time to get TiVo now!!
