Virgin teases with TiVo iPad app snap

Keeping mum on the details

Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery

Virgin Media has revealed it's working on an iPad app that'll tap into its TiVo-designed DVR, Media TV.

As proof, it 'leaked' this snap:

It also invited hacks and bloggers to "speculate as you wish" based on the "few things in the image that may pique your interest".

All we can see is a spotlights icon placed upside down:

And it has its channels well and truly muddled. Doc Martin on MTV? House on BBC 2? Surely not...

Plenty of time to fix it, presumably - Virgin is not saying when the app will be out, or even if it will come out. Or what it'll do when, or if, it does. ®

"All we can see is a spotlights icon placed upside down:"

How about the 'Watch now' button, that seems to be a bit more intriguing than a buggy tv guide, will that stream live tv to the ipad or just act like a tv remote and change the current channel?

The 'My Shows' seems interesting too, might be easier to edit all your series link with touchscreen or mouse based device than with a remote.

But as others have said, Android please.
