There is obviously going to be some jigging of pricing over the next few years. Maybe there will be a tivo box with less functionality at some stage?

As muppetman11 says, some people won't want to pay an extra 3 p/m if all they want is a basic PVR.

Premium product

All this doesn’t come cheap - £199 plus £40 installation for existing customers, and a further monthly premium on the existing top-tier TV package.
“We are premium-positioning,” Rose says, whilst demoing the box for paidContent:UK at Virgin’s London HQ. “We’re initially positioning this as a high-end product as a tier on top of TV XL - £3 more expensive than the standard TV XL subscription. However, we intend to migrate our entire television customer base over to TiVo as our standard product within a matter of years, and not many years. That means, undoubtedly, we will course-correct, refine and review packaging and pricing decisions as we go to make that happen.”
