Considering that according to
LGI's last results, 44% of VM's TV base is on TiVo, and 14,000 added weekly, I don't think it'll be long before it's over 50%, so TiVo will be the 'wider community'.
And I can't see either VM or LGI wanting to have three different techology systems running on the network (Liberate, TiVo and whatever Horizon runs on), it would be a support nightmare.
In regards to Horizon 'addressing a wider need', you seem to focusing on 'won't have a TiVo tax'. There is zero guarantee that it would be cheaper than TiVo.
