What we need is faster responses, not deterioration of services.

About 40% of my viewing is through various apps these days. The old method of watching TV is fast becoming outmoded, Richard.
But the problem is that without VM replacing all the old hardware (which I doubt that they would be prepared to do), the response times aren't going to improve. In fact, if all the apps that were promised come to fruition, it may become worse!

It's easy and cheap enough to enjoy apps via alternative methods these days

That's the logic behind my suggestion. Let's hope that the work that SP mentioned will improve things.

Ohhh, that's interesting. I've heard nothing but praise for the Horizon box, but i'm certainly no expert.
