Possible they've had difficulty upgrading V6 boxes and keeping existing settings and recordings, so rather than annoy all their customers they decided on new hardware only. Customers would expect to lose recordings moving on to new equipment, so there wouldn't be the bad customer relations with implementing it that way.

They'll probably recycle the boxes from people taking the new service by upgrading them to Horizon 4 and re-issuing them. Horizon also needs a new remote (it has voice control and doesn't use the current remote).
