sure the new channels will come but other than that thats it. its hardly full support more like legacy support for an obsolete platform at best and the only reason VM will keep this limited legacy support is so they dont loose money to people refusing to pay a fortune to be move to the TiVo platform and VM having to subsidise the move.

It's only obsolete insofar as it won't do the new 'connected' things. But all connected functionality requires new equipment if the current equipment is more than a year old.
My Panny BD35 Blueray player is obsolete from your perspective, because it can't get connected content like my Sony BD370 can. Panasonic have no plans to upgrade the BD35 to get connected content, they expect you to buy a new model if you want connected TV functionality.
The BD35 still plays bluerays though and does the job it was designed for; If I want the new stuff, I need new equipment. Same applies to PVRs.
