I believe that's just ONO Spain where Vodafone inherited the Tivo contract by acquiring ONO.

There's infrastructure investment required to support Horizon which is already in place for Tivo. So maybe logical to introduce a new Tiivo now and in a few years' time introduce a new cloud-based solution in all territories.

A remote with a keyboard , tv email anyone.
I hope they hire a designer for future boxes, although they manage to make it look a bit nicer in this guide. https://www.upc-cablecom.ch/content/...ser-manual.pdf
