Hi @apocholite
You would need to switch to either the V6 (based on Tivo your current interface) or a 360 box which is based on the Horizon operating system.
Both boxes require a VM broadband connection to work.
<<< This thread >>> details some of the main differences between the Tivo/V6 and 360 boxes.
If you do have braodband with VM and yuor Tivo box fails then yuo will be upgraded to a V6 for free, otherwise yuo will need to speak to regrades and there may well be a charge for switching boxes, unless yuo are on the Ultimate Oomph/Ultimate Volt bundle.
You could ask for a free box swap as part of negotiation for a new 18 month contract.

Thank you Dave - I will look into it. Don't really see why I should be expected to pay if the technology falls behind the pace but there we go!
