The rumours are that Horizon will end up licencing Tivo elements so the two platforms will probably be quite similar in the end. Tivo is only software not hardware in the UK; the only hardware style of Tivo is the remote control.
OK. I see, thanks. I did wonder how they would market upgrading for a fee something you don't own and that would be changed into something different in an unspecified period of time. (e.g. pay £200 plus an extra monthly fee, for the new Tivo that might not be a Tivo in a year or twos time )
