Ultimately I want a user interface that is fast, clear, intuitive, logical.
Large fonts with hardly any options on screen at a time is just as bad as cramming too many options on one screen. I don't want lots of graphics.
The trend for having a screen full of DVD box set covers is the wrong way to go in my opinion. These images tend to me cluttered and they all have different types and sizes of fonts and when the screen is full of them I just can't concentrate on one area.
I'd rather all writing in the user interface was limited to one, easy to read, system-wide font. That's partly why I change the channels from their logos to text in the Tivo EPG options.

Apart from that video been 6 years old, it is also on a different box (Samsung) and for a different market. I should imagine the V6 implementation of Horizon will be a somewhat more updated 2018/19 version and to take advantage of the V6 capabilities, but also incorporating the more advanced bits of Tivo tech. And of course, twinked for the UK market with VM branding and colours.
