Re: John Malone/Liberty/VM General News Thread
It's not an issue.
The older TiVo's built in connection doesn't go fast enough to need D3.1, and as already been discussed elsewhere the V6 doesn't have it's own modem, but connects to the Virgin Media Hub. |

One of the big selling points of the Tivo was that dedicated modem not interfering with your broadband. |
Re: John Malone/Liberty/VM General News Thread
No comment on that at the moment.

Nice little interview Malone gave yesterday about how he sees the future of cable and mobile companies, which is basically what I've said here 18 months ago!

Lately I've even been seeing a message claiming my internet isnt connected (complete with a picture of a dog pulling a cable from the tv) so there is obviously something a bit broke. VM must think so too if they are moving in a different direction with the V6 |

And for what? The "Graphically rich" UI isn't even that usable. The V6 better be nippy. Quote:
Well it won't be the current Virgin MVNO as BT just bought them. Rumours of Vodafone merging have been going on for years, but Telefonica (O2) needs money fast so there's plenty of possibilities really. He's not wrong, it makes a lot of sense to combine the efforts. I believe Virgin actually supplies a lot of backhaul for the various mobile networks, so it's a no brainer. |

- a satellite TV company eg Sky, Canal Plus - a cable company often part of LGI - the incumbent fixed line operator sometimes part-owned by Deutsche Telekom How do these map to the various networks owned by Vodafone, 3-Hutchison, Telefonica-O2 plus a host of smaller companies like Telia, Tele2 and America Movil? No one knows at this stage but everyone speculates. :) |

Yup, no doubt it'll be a series of mergers rather than one big one. It's only a matter of time before more EU networks start merging with each other, too.

I'm not sure Virgin supply backhaul for "various" mobile networks. I don't think EE or Three ever used them and EE certainly wouldn't now as they're part of BT Group. They definitely provide backhaul for Vodafone though. |

and MBNL provides the backhaul http://mbnl.co.uk/ Quote:
They did, a long time ago, and they still provide circuits here and there around the country. But Vodafone have their own massive Fibre Network courtesy of C&W. |
