A description of Virin Media's new TiVo box - and a quick introduction to its functionalities. We hope you find this helpful.

1. Virgin Media
TIVO

2. Introducing TiVo
Discover awesome new shows or relive old
favourites. Record up to three programmes at
once, catch up with TV you missed or pause
and rewind as much as you like. Discover TiVo
and discover the most exciting way to watch
TV, ever.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Take a closer look at TiVo
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

6. Take a closer look at TiVo
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.

7. Search & Browse, then find

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.

10. Clever stuff
Your 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!

Your 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 .
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.

12. 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?
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.

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.

extra cost.

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

15. Handy little apps on your big screen
Get 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.

16. 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.
