Same goes for the 3rd tuner. VM knew they would want a 3rd tuner when they first spoke to Tivo, one would think they could have worked on this much sooner. It all seems a bit last minute to me.

It was a lot longer than a year ago. That was just the date for the press release.
They are having to build and add new code to their service that takes time. TiVo will probably be building the software and testing internally before it even gets to the VM testers so there isn't really anything to suggest this hasn't been worked on for a long time already.
Remember there is the Cisco STB as well that would have had to be built and then TiVo would have got their software working on the box, before even considering adding new features.
