I do think we are likely to have wifi on TiVo to connect other TiVo. But looking into TiVo models they seems to be down the route like sky q of one box and then steaming content via wifi to other boxes and seems to match rumoured pic and matches colour of superhub

What you think mediaboy

Don't read anything into that. VM only take software from TiVo. VM TiVo boxes are built to VM's specs by manufacturers of VM's choice (currently Cisco and Samsung).

I think the minimum should include bigger hard drive, 4K, wifi, viewing recording on the move, customisable folders and ideally external hard drive support to back up important recordings

Watch this space is all i can say at this moment in time, external hard drive though certainly is not going to happen.

Can I ask one question and I understand if you can't tell us but will a new box only allow one box and stream rest or can we still get two boxes

No details have been given on number of boxes allowed as of yet but we think you will be allowed more than one box but for example you may pay £99 for first box then £199 for each box after plus £5 - £10p/m multiroom subscription per extra box.
These are only thoughts at the moment though.

The only thing about that, that I find is a bad move is multi room charge as sky q don't have a multi room charge any longer but the rest seems viable. We still around 3 months to find out

I'm sure that VM will finalise pricing nearer to the launch date. Will be interesting to see if BT reacts to Sky Q too.

They already are looking into moving away from Youview apparantly, only seen a couple of rumours on this, i think talktalk may follow suite too.
