Looking at it I can't see an obvious wishlist function, but I may have just missed it. Otherwise it has 4 tuners, integrated search, TV anywhere style ios apps, multiroom streaming and makes a point of apparently very fast channel changes. The ui looks very smart. Looks like a good box. I've said elsewhere that I can't see Virgin abandoning TiVo for at least the natural life of the current TiVo box, but if horizon is the general shape of things to come then it would appear that Virgin and Liberty are a pretty good fit with similar ideas about the proper future of cable.
