It has been confirmed that another day has been lost on the EPG.

would it be acceptable for VM to just RIP the V and V+ HD Box and just replace all existing non TIVO users to TIVO boxes?

There is some logic in doing this:

1) Simpler maintenance in supporting one technology (TIVO) and thus reduce overheads
2) Simplied offering of billing and packages (and thus cut out the additional charge of TIVO)
3) Universal platform for development rather than checking legacy equipment for compatibility when new enhancements take place

Is TIVO ready to be "the" single platform provider for VM as standard or is there a warranted market to both a TIVO and non TIVO offering
