Ive got nigh on £300 to spend and its burning a hole in my pocket! So far Im thinking that's either half of a new pinball or a new iPad in April.

 

Any other (serious) suggestions?

You on virgin....

 

We've had the chance to use the TiVo box in its new incarnation, and we're impressed. It's not due to launch until mid-December, but here's how it works.

 

It knows what you think

Virgin's TiVo box is all about the software, so we'll talk about that first. TiVo's promise is that it's great at making sense of the bewildering amount of TV viewing choices available today. With on-demand, catch-up and broadcast services all competing for your attention, it's often hard to know how to find the good stuff among all the dross. All PVRs try to cut through the rubbish for you, but what makes TiVo unique is that it sorts through programmes based on what it thinks you like.

 

As you watch programmes, you press a thumbs-up or thumbs-down button on the remote to give them a rating. Over time, the service builds up a profile of your tastes and records programmes for you without asking. If this works as well on the new box as it did on the old one, it should be eerily accurate, helping you to discover new shows and keep up with programmes you like but always forget to record.

 

Excellent interface

Anyone who's already a Virgin Media customer will find the menus a quantum leap forwards. The old-fashioned fonts and dreary black theme have been replaced with a sunny red appearance, but the real difference is that the layout is much more logical. One of the key improvements is the electronic programme guide, which now runs backwards, as well as forwards.

Half the price but without the slots for the chargers.
