As I said, the last question on the q4 earnings was about tivo and stbs, and Berkett stated that they will replace a significant number of stbs.

You can read into what you like, the facts of the matter are the current boxes are unlikely to run this interface as they have no flash lite support, and Berkett himself has said they will be replacing a significant amount of boxes. But feel free to take tivo being available to all customers to mean it'll run on those very boxes he's said he's going to replace.

VM are not cash strapped, they have significant free cash flow.
