I can't see your logic. If it is costing in the same ball park as the USA price and a lot less for the tivo software monthly charge, in a country where electronics are usually much cheaper than Great Britain, then how do you figure it is costing them nothing to supply it? I remember as well Cindy Rose saying that they could only roll out a limited amount of boxes before the end of the last financial year. If it was costing nothing to supply subscribers with the box then that wouldn't be the case would it? Like all electronics I would expect the price to reduce after a while once the initial development costs have been met.
