My opinion is that the £3 fee is like a licensing fee to use the TiVo name as well as the EPG data supply. If this is the case then this cost must be fixed in a long term contract between TiVo and VM which of course neither party will disclose.

It would be pretty naive to think that this will not increase and I fully expect it to until they see sub numbers dropping in future.

Like with any business, they need to make money and having a separate line on the bill gives another opportunity for price rises.
