I believe it's what they call a "soft launch", with a strictly limited number of Tivo boxes going out so they can do a last minute large scale test of the boxes, the software and any headend hardware/software needed.

After all, they can test in the lab as much as they want, they'll never get quite the same results they do when they let 100s of users on to the system. I'm sure any system admins or developers on this board will know exactly what I mean..
