I was thinking they might have needed some other changes?

TiVo is much more dependent on the modem than the other boxes, so VM have decided to make all TiVo installs manned to make sure the signal levels are checked.

Do you want to record on the VCR and DVD from the TiVo? If so you may need to connect it TiVo-DVD-VCR-TV. Otherwise it's just a straight replacement of the V+ with the TiVo.
As far as picture quality goes, the TiVo output is RGB, but it doesn't signal correctly at the moment, so some TVs don't realise RGB is available. This should be fixed by the next TiVo software update.
Regardless of this, most TVs only accept RGB from the first SCART socket (usually called AV1 or EXT1), so the chances are even now you don't get RGB from both the V+ and DVD. You need to decide which device is most important to you and plug this into the first SCART socket on the TV.
