More like the original hardware was picked when the TiVo software was in a totally different state where as now they have the software or UI the way they want they will do be aable to pick the best hardware to make it work.
Also as Sky are now pushing Q as their main system I think they have a winner.

I am sure that it is not the case, it is more than likely that the STB isn't finalised or finished testing yet, so they will be doing the right thing and waiting till they are sure it will be great before officially releasing details.

If they are choosing the hardware to cope with the software that sounds sensible, but won't help those with existing boxes.
I wonder what will happen to all the existing boxes that are running so slow.
When TiVo started, they let people site their existing V+ in another room at no extra charge.
Maybe they will offer to resite the old box if customers take a new one.
They could be useful for a bedroom for example, as having to wait for one programme to start that you want to watch before bed isn't too bad as opposed to having it as a main box.
Having said that, if the new box can stream it's recordings like Sky Q, will there be any need?
