All-new 4K Virgin Media TiVo box revealed, coming soon to rival Sky Q

Virgin Media has posted a teaser image of a new set-top-box on its corporate Twitter account, thought to be its answer to Sky Q.

Earlier this year, as part of financial results statement in May, Virgin Media revealed that it will be launching a new, 4K-ready TiVo box this year. Now we’ve had a brief glimpse of what it will look like.

To be honest, the tweet doesn’t give away much, save for the fact that much more will be unveiled tomorrow, 11 August. An unboxing will be shown on the same @VirginMediaCorp Twitter feed.

There’s no coincidence that Virgin Media has decided to unveil its new box this week. Sky officially launches its 4K service for Sky Q customers at the weekend, with the start of the Premier League football season seeing three matches broadcast in Ultra High Definition.

We’re not sure yet when you’ll be able to upgrade to Virgin Media TiVo 4K, or how much extra the service might cost, but existing TiVo box users will likely get an updated user experience at the same time.
