All very well trying to charge extra for TiVo, but the tier-ing of the service levels doesn't fit very well with the existing model because of the overlap in functionality perceived by the customer.
I think the bottom line is the £3 goes to TiVo for EPG data and ongoing development. VM can't pay it out of your XL TV subs as that would be cutting the profit out of there top tier and they would be paying out more on equipment but getting less return on it.

Basically the very last thing they want you to do is stop paying the £3 to TiVo so they make the disadvantages of not paying far outweigh the £3.
