I suspect that is what they would like to do. But it is possible that the success VM have had with Tivo might just convince them to leave VM alone with regard the set top box they use. If Tivo hadn't been such a success, I think we'd be heading for the Horizon box for sure.

I would assume TiVo have devoted their development time to adding the new features, rather than tidying up the remaining SD screens. I agree that they should though.
But the two main screens crying out to become HD on VM's Tivo; My Planned Recordings and Manage My Series Links, are available on the US Tivo on which VM's software is based. These were added several months ago in the US, so should be implemented in the next VM update. Or so I would have thought.
