How hard would it have been to implement that system while they recoded it properley???

It would be almost as hard as doing it properly. The STB doesn't know that "the football is on" or what streams are available at any particular time - someone needs to tell it. Also bear in mind VM has around 20 different STB models that need testing. That's a lot of testing on something you're going to throw away.
Doing what you suggest would be a major diversion from doing the job properly. Besides, it's nearly all done now anyway.
