But is it now that LG have taken over? They will want to eventually migrate everyone onto their Horizon box, in part so that they don't have to pay licence fees to TiVo.

They may take the view that it is far easier and cheaper to wait until they are ready to implement Horizon in the UK and change boxes from eg a V+ to Horizon, than go the V+--> TiVo--> Horizon route.
