Liberty have already said the new box will run both the TiVo and Horizon software so I suppose it should be no surprise they're using the box in other countries they operate in. Anyway here's the Horizon brochure - in Polish so I've no idea what it's saying! - but it's full of pretty pictures including the qwerty handset you can get on the Horizon platform. I can't say for sure it's the same as the V6 but from the little VM have shown us it certainly looks very similar!

Wasn't aware that it had launched anywhere though, maybe it was a test unit that was seen in Poland?
It was for openly on offer at the UPC stand in the main shopping centre in Krakow a few weeks ago.
