But all the above is what this thread is about; and we love it. We don't take everything as gospel, and have fun with the information, real or unreal.
It seems to me that this thread just simply isn't for you.

Indeed, but itshim seems to get his pleasure from spoiling the enjoyment of others when the fancy takes him.

You could be right about Maverickjesus, but it may just be that he has poor communication skills and cannot express himself effectively, so comes accross as abrupt and rude??

1) uniform branding across all companies
2) uniform channels across all companies
3) One box only & Tivo is NOT the model favored.
All is subject to contracts of cause but these are the company aims.
Would look t be in place within the next Five years

That's more like it
Well, it doesn't surprise me that LG are going for uniform branding, but this is the first time I've heard it being mooted.
I am also not surprised that LG will be looking to an exit strategy for TiVo. Their own Horizon box is in use elsewhere and would save them having to pay licencing fees to TiVo.
I wonder if the Horizon software can be dropped onto the existing TiVo boxes??

We would lose one of the best features, Whishlists, if they swapped from Tivo.

Perhaps the Horizon box could be incorporated to include Wishlists (and anything else worth having from TiVo)??
Horizon will save VM money and possibly customers too (maybe this change will put a stop to the multiroom per TiVo charge or the actual TiVo charge itself)??
