You are right that people aren't forced into Tivo, but HD channels are forcing them to make some sort of choice.
20 hours HD recording on the V+ box doesn't cut it anymore.
So, people are looking at three choices:
Tivo
V+ (which doesn't cut it for HD recording)
Sky HD, with 60 hours recording
I think Virgin need to address their customer base who want HD and enough space to record it but don't want to pay the extra £3 for Tivo functionality, otherwise, they may see some people heading over to Sky.
TBH, I think it's pointless focusing on 'the £3 Tivo charge'. You should look at the overall cost of the package for the services you want and compare that between providers. But sadly, people aren't doing that and are letting one aspect of the charge dominate their thinking rather than considering the overall costs.
