So no way they will keep TiVo,

That box is already rolled out in iteland and europe.

"It will be rolled out in Switzerland, Germany and Ireland over the next 3-6 months. International cable company Liberty Global has been working with a number of partners on the ambitious project, which promises to transform the cable television experience for its customers, allowing them to view media across television, computer, tablet and smartphone screens."

That was October 2012.


So looks like end of TiVo, shame really after all the hype VM put into TiVo and marketing it etc
Looks grim for TiVo. The above however doesn't look too bad.

Does anyone have more info on Horizon they can share?
