TiVos have a subscription but what we are getting is "V+HD with TiVo Inside", It's not a TiVo TiVo (if that makes sense). TiVo have a contract with VM, not it's customers. Now if VM decide to put a surcharge on the box to start off with (as in the long term TiVo will be the only middleware and they will have to drop it at some point) that's up to them.
