Cisco 500GB TiVo box needs replacing.

Hi,  How can I get a newer TiVo box than my Cisco 500GB one please. I don’t need broadband or a new tv package as I have broadband with UW. My box is 17 years old I believe.

If you move to TiVO V6 or Horizon V360 you will have to take VM Broadband for them to work. These boxes no longer have modems & the servers that operate these TV platforms only work on the local VM network. There is no connection to the outside world, or even to other parts of the VM network. Hence there is no access via external Broadband connections, making VM Broadband a mandatory requirement.
