Virgin Media launches TiVo box in U.K.
Crave UK got a quick look at the box and found it to be an incredible PVR with a powerful recommendation engine and a brand new user interface.
The grid view will be familiar to anyone who's used a PVR, but Virgin allows you to scroll back through time and use the historical program information to find catch-up TV shows, indicated by a little "c" in a round arrow.

The TiVo set-top box includes a whopping 1TB hard drive, which means you'll be able to store huge amounts of television, even in high definition. It has two tuners, with a third tuner being added in 2011.
