I'm only going by what I've been told in training for TiVo. Plus it's only £3

Addition

I can see it now ... 2011 and a couple million subscribers sign up for full tivo @ £3 a month ... 2013 .. the bombshell VM announce an increase to £5 a month ... 2015 another bombshell an increase to £7 a month ...

dont wish to speculate and scaremonger at all ... but with the old tivo s1 charging £10 a month ten years ago (i believe thats what i read) i can see VM milking a cash cow in the future with price hikes for those just wishing to be able to record the tv
I'll try and get some more clarification about it, but the TiVo charge goes mainly to TiVo to provide the guide data/support for the UI etc.

I don't think we've got an ability to still allow recording without the TiVo flag on the account. Maybe the lower end model will allow this once launched later this year?
