VM have already said it will be another Tivo. EOS is just their internal name for the cloud based element of the (whatever) service they wiill launch.

Well it's a good point thinking about the max I need. If none of the tuners are needed to stream to devices like sky do then 5 or 6 but if they use them for streaming say 8

Well it depends 6 tuners I feel is the right amount, currently I find times when five would have been useful so I would go with six, but if some of them like sky are used for streaming we would only have four. So 6 broadcast tuners and 2 streaming tuners

I reckon 0, 1 or 2, depending on how it accesses the servers.

If they go down the route of cloud storage, how does watching something you recorded earlier. I wouldn't want to be relying on the cloud for every show
