So maybe the V6's software could be updated to do this in the future without changing the boxes?
That's right, I should have been clearer about that. The design of the new Horizon 4 set-top box is the same as the V6 device, but instead of running on TiVo software, the new Liberty box was developed using RDK.

Also interesting to see what happens to the Horizon software if Comcast acquires Sky.
Because there is currently a contractual arrangement with Tivo, but when this expires, I think we may well transition over to the Horizon software.
