Well if VM do launch a new box then that would be amazing. It will hopefully rival the Sky Q service which does look very good albeit at what i would assume an extreme premium.
I am especially intrigued by the use of the slave boxes that also double up as WiFi hubs, as we all know connection can always be an issue. Also the fact the salve boxes are free from cabling which means they can be moved around, another huge plus.

I would hope VM/ Tivo do attempt to rival Sky in this manner. If they manage to build something that combines the Romario and Bolt then that could be a huge Sky Q killer.

My only gripe will be that we all know it takes VM an age to release anything new, and there are always issues and delays, if they say this year it will be next. By which time Sky Q will likely be in full swing.

VM have the best & fastest internet they could really use this and integrate it better with Tv services like cloud storage of programs and more streaming to extra devices - Two is just not enough. I get the reason to lock it down so you can't share it with the whole world, but surely they could add a few extra devices and lock it to the house internet?
