And you are basing that on what information?

And as for the scientifica boxes it wouldn't cost much to stopping giving them out, just give them a samsung box and flog the boxes to another cable company abroad. once there's only a few scientifica boxes in use upgrade those customers to samsung or tivo and switch to h264 for hd boxes. giving customers scientifica is just prolonging the inevitable.
You wouldn't be able to sell the boxes to other CableCos as they would have been built specifically for Virgin Media and their network.

Anyway, if you don't want VM to have MPEG2 only boxes, why would you assume others would want to increase their stock of them?

As has been said many times before, Virgin do plan to migrate all customers across to TiVo eventually, but any company will maximise their assets including any in stock kit for as long as possible.
