It's not as if Liberty Global actually own the Horizon middleware and user interface (it's licensed from NDS), so there's little or no cost saving to be made but there will be major disruption to services if they do switch. Red button, apps, certain carriage deals with Sky, multi-room streaming etc. are tied to the TiVo platform. In 2015 Virgin extended its deal with TiVo to at least 2020 with TiVo remaining the "exclusive provider" of middleware and user interface software for Virgin's next generation set top boxes. As part of the deal, Virgin committed itself to "the development of next-generation solutions from TiVo." |

From what I have heard, migration to Horizon would have been a retrograde step. |

Can't say I've heard of the Horizon 4 box, but the article being linked to is a year old.

Re: Liberty Global Renews/Expands TiVo deal
It's the same box hardware, but running different software. If you've ever seen a V6 box reboot, it shows a "Welcome" screen in many languages. That's because the same hardware is intended for use across Europe.
