Can't see them forcing migrations, it would have to be voluntary as folks will lose their recordings. I recently recontracted and it wasn't mentioned. A lot still have the old Tivo and haven't upgraded a V6 yet, VM don't have a history of rolling new equipment out quickly. It will probably be new apps/ updates only on the new box, like Sky+, to try and sucker the punters to switch. The only app I use is iplayer, then I mostly use my smart TV for that as its quicker.

Hopefully VM have learnt a lesson from the 360 and do some consumer testing before their next box.
I recently managed to recontract and switch my account back to V6 from the awful 360 at the same time, it took several days and different telephone advisors, but I persisted and it paid off. That 360 is a mess.
