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. |
Indeed. I've never claimed that VM aren't railroading customers into TiVo, they are. But they're unhappy. I'm sure your stats are correct though.
If Horizon isn't cheaper than TiVo then you're right, it won't be a viable alternative and won't address the wider audience. I'm not a supporter of Horizon particularly, I'd just like to see an upgrade for my V+ box.
