From what I've read up on it there isn't any mention of Wifi, it does mention though that it has an internal cable modem and it has it's own 10Mbit Internet connection for things like WebTV (Youtube etc). You might get a definitive answer from something like the Digital Spy forums (digitalspy.co.uk) which have specific cable forums. Failing that you could try giving Virgin a call (although it would be hit and miss if you get hold of someone who knows what they're talking about).

On the other hand, it depends how restrictive Virgin want to be, but historically they try and do things that Sky don't do. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood "Is this your sanderling?" -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Virgin- Tivo
Hi all, As you probably know...Virgin are coming out with a Tivo pretty soon. Does anyone know if the box will have wifi so that it can be possible connected to a ubuntu pc and maybe media can be streamed from the pc to the box? -- Regards Javad -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
