Thing is though Den, that LG have put plenty of their money behind Horizon while Tivo is a product they've 'aquired' with VM. Add that to the fact that the Tivo will have an ongoing licensing fee then I think we can all see that with the roll out of Horizon continuing in new markets the days (years?) of Tivo will be numbered. If LG thought Tivo was such a good product then surely they'd either of been using it already, or would be cutting their losses with Horizon and moving to Tivo. Neither of these seem to of happened or be happening. One of the nails in the Tivo coffin in my eyes is the complete lack of UI development, performance improvement or bug fixes - but I'm still in the 'should have put a 1TB drive in the V+' camp.
