Just been chatting with a mutual friend who works for VM to see if I could find anything out
I said that I was thinking of upgrading to TiVo, but had heard that a new box was due to come out.
She advised me to hold on as the current TiVo was good when it was first introduced, but is now not so good (i'm assuming that she meant the clunky way it works that a lot of you are unhappy about).
I said I thought i'd read on the internet that the new box was due out in July, the reply was that the launch date had been put back time and time again, so I shouldn't hold my breath!
When I asked what it would be like, she said that it will be called Horizon- isn't this what LG use in Southern Ireland and elsewhere?
I'm a bit confused as the LG Horizon box and the TiVo are completely different aren't they, also wasn't the TiVo contract renewed fairly recently
She said that the new box was designed to compete with Sky Fluid (never heard of that; is this the same thing as Sky Q
)
Maybe a hybrid TiVo/Horizon box has been created?? This would probably take care of the TiVo contract, give LG an opportunity to get their boxes into peoples homes and customers could get the best of both worlds??
