Virgin Media has debuted details of its TiVo-powered HD/3D set top box

Hmm, "Tivo-powered" means "Linux powered" Might mean that the new box is a bit less unreliable than the current V+ one's (which I've heard are WinCE).

which will give customers 1TB of storage for squirreling away their favourite TV shows.

Nice! Now what surcharge are they going to levy for this new service? If it's <£10/month then I might be interested. Guess I'll have to wait and see...

Be nice if you could buy an upgrade from the V+HD to the new box though.
