Neil Berkett has just said on the VM conference call that the new V HD boxes will be able to take the TIVO downloads should he want it. Plus the new V+HD boxes released next year will all be TIVO compatitabile. Some will be in store by Christmas, with a major rollout of TIVO starting next year. A soft launch of TIVO to a few thousand customers will happen in the last quarter of this year.

BUT, he said with the new V HD boxes, there will be a couple of hundred thousand boxes seeded in the market that can take tivo by the end of the year, when the tivo rollout starts. He made NO mention of existing standard or V+ stbs.... Make of that what you will!
