All the wording suggests the new box is a completely new platform hence Stephens comment about Horizon.

What's also quite interesting is that April's Telegraph article suggested that a new box would be launched followed by an update to the distribution system to facilitate Horizon. If the new box was a Horizon box, surely this would take place
before the box was launched.

At the turn of the year it will launch a new set-top box to rival Sky Q, with ultra-high-definition pictures and a similar ability to sling programmes to tablets and smartphones around the home.
Beyond that, there will be a major overhaul of the ageing plumbing that powers Virgin Media’s broadcasting, to allow it to shift to Liberty Global’s next generation distribution system, Horizon, which is already in use elsewhere in Europe.

I appreciate that VM does not want to give too much confidential information away hence the possible ambiguity. And it could be that the info Media Boy posted about a new Tivo pre-Olympics was a red herring fed to him to confuse the competition!
