There will be enough boxes being produced to fullfil the installs being booked.
If I was to guess I would think it's fairly close to a JIT process, with enough extra to cover any additional box requests. Virgin know how many installs they can complete in a week, and how many people pre-registered so can plan appropriately.
This isn't a bad thing, as quite a lot of companies operate orders in the same way. In the next few years then TiVo will become stock so less brand new boxes will be produced and more will be returned and refurbished.
