Not a gimme, but if a Virgin keep TiVo it’ll be TiVo software running on Horizon boxes.

Both the Horizon 4 and TiVo software run on the same box, "Project EOS" Box by ARRIS. The VM version in the UK is just branded V6, referring to its 6 tuners. However, the European version does not have a hard drive, so uses The Cloud for recording and storage. But essentially they are the same boxes with the same hardware, but running different software according to territory.
Both Liberty Global and TiVo renewed their licensing contract just last year, so the TiVo software will still be here for a while at least, albeit as a full User Interface or patents used in the Horizon software.
