Re: youtube app removal

So basically if a company pays Virgin enough, they'll show any content they want to your kids... great company policy!

I don't know why this is marked as resolved, the only solution I've heard is that we have to ditch the Virgin TiVo and get a proper open platform that allows us to control the apps....

The irony that most of what I'm looking at is based on the Google-provided Android platform... where they allow you to enforce child profiles with blocked YouTube... exactly what I have setup on their Android tablets (no YouTube at all).... it's like Google are paying Virgin to make TiVo unsuitable for young families and encourage them to turn to Google TV devices... I can't fault Google's logic (get 'em while they're young), but ridiculous that Virgin would do such an irresponsible thing for a few extra quid ... beggars belief.... at the moment I'm stopping my kids before they get there (again), but should I start taking photo's of my 4yr old and 6yr old daughters watching the the creepy content that Virign is effectively allowing to be pumped into our homes on a completely uncontrollable platform and start sending those to media outlets - BBC and SkyNews would have a field day with this the next time they're running an online safety feature!!

Tablets have strictly controlled profiles, phones have finger-print scanners, computers are all password protected and tightly controlled, but hey, get TiVo and let anybody watch anything they can find on YouTube....
