I paid £100 "install" and a tenner a month in 2006 when the TV Drive came out and I didn't moan about it, well maybe a little. NTL changed what they did and waived the monthly fee for XL customers, I was happy, NTL were happy I was paying them more for XL TV.
Yes, a price hasn't been set for TiVo but I know from the various people I've talked to who have the VM TiVo box that a monthly fee is quite possible. It's TiVo's business model, absolutely nothing to stop VM absorbing it for XL customers, but that's pure speculation!

Most wouldn't be opposed to a monthly fee for TIVO if there was no upfront cost , but to charge both would be a step to far for a box that's never yours.
