Whats that got to do with the v6?

BUt like everyone facing price rises and considering leaving VM, I want to know when the new tivo is coming and what it will cost? I am patient, but VM is not if I want to get out of contract due to the rises.
What we know so far:


They use the same software as the Tivo, they are really quick, when you press MyShows, its loaded in the blink of an eye.
It has a RF remote so you can put in in a cupboard.
Its small, its about the same size as a VHD
It doesnt have a modem built in, it connects via wifi or ethernet.
It has 6 tuners
