Basically the TIVO boxes are plugging into the internet service hence the extra content, the internet service has always had far more content than VM's service for whatever reason (probably space). Nothing dodgy at all, it's like VM supplying selected YouTube content on older boxes but TIVO having full net access and therefore can support the full service, no VM storage or server utilisation necessary since it's just a glorified browser in the shape of an app/widget/gadget or whatever TIVO calls its plugins.
