As regards the UK, I can only see this for NEW customers after launch, with 1 main V6 box with recording facilities running the new Horizon software and up to 4 mini "slave" boxes around the home with maybe cloud recording and storage added further on. Existing or legacy customers with 2+ V6 boxes should be expected to continue with their contracts, but their boxes will be running the Horizon software and UI. Ultimately though I can see these extra V6 boxes eventually replaced out with the mini slave multi-room boxes and cloud storage, but not until existing contracts have expired. The future of entertainment is clearly in streaming and the "cloud" is a massive part of that. Hard Disc Drives and Linear television will eventually be as obsolete as VHS, cassettes and CD's. Virgin Media and Liberty have finally realised that.

The offer we've been talking about in here. The one that is being offered through email.
