They have upset quite a lot of very loyal long standing customers it seems.
There was the option to purchase a lifetime sub for £200 rather than the £10 a month also. I have the lifetime sub but basically in the T&C's it can be ended within 30 days of notice from Tivo.
I've had it for 9 years so had my money's worth but does seem a shame to end their service just because they are now tied in with Virgin.

I guess it would still cost TiVo to carry on supporting the S1 TiVo's. I understand if you are not in a cabled area then it's a problem if you want to carry on using a S1 box.
I suppose TiVo could have stopped the service a good few years ago now after their ill-fated relationship with Sky.
