Hi LondonRoad,

Sorry cannot find the direct quote but Cindy Rose says it the next few years they want the entire TV base to be on TiVo, this would make comerical sense on two levels

1. No support require for legacy TV software solutions
2. Probable migration from mpeg2 to mpeg4 (think of how many ours of HD recordings your could get on you PVR then)

VM keep telling us we don't own the boxes so they can do what they like to an extent.

PS I am not angling for a free upgrade, I am just happy with the box and service that I have got and at present have no intension of paying any upgrade/installation fee!
