As it seems everyone agrees the fee for Tivo is an advance rental..

If someonne gets Tivo then after 3 months canceled there contract EG-Price rise. Would that customer get the "Advance rental fees" minus costs to date back?

Or is it as someone has said..VM Are making you buy the box? Because realistically how much does anyone think a VM Tivo box would retail for? I bet cost to VM is slightly less than £149 if they're buying 1 or 2 million (there will be a promise to purchase contract with cicso). Cisco wouldnt be making them unless the numbers are big.
