Yeah, a few of us thought that BT Sport was going to be with us before tomorrow and we were right. Because VM held out on negotiations, the stronger their option to barter became. Because of that VM are the only company to have the channels on a wholesale basis. I think a few surprises are in store.

The crunch will be when they are doing the 'Why should you upgrade from TiVo to Horizon?' page on the VM site. Can they make 'upgrading' an appealing enough option to TiVoed customers? Not to mention that all the TiVo-promotion VM have done will be for squat going ahead.
I suppose it depends on what 'extras' will be on the Horizon box, along with Storage, Network capabilities and recording quality.

Has anybody seen any screenshots from the Horizon boxes?
