I wondered about that after I'd posted. So are only Samsung V+ boxes given out now?

And also slowing down getting to the place where all active boxes can accept MP4, which would give us more recording capacity. I am surprised that they are still giving out V+ boxes.

But aren't there still a lot of SD non PVR boxes out there? Is it possible in the future to run MP4 alongside mp2 for different STB vM boxes out there?

There will be some, but adding more non MP4 capable boxes won't help progress to mp4. If they are only handing out Samsung V+ boxes, then it isn't a problem.

Like with analogue cable, when in the future would VM say we will only support potential mpeg4 boxes and all other boxes would be made useless, remember at the end of the day we only rent these boxes!
