I'm sceptical regarding future sale figures as Virgin have already targeted their high end paying TV customers, who are likeliest to take TiVo, during the soft launch period and so far only 50,000 have the service. The further 25,000 who currently await installation, judging by posts on this forum and other sites, seem mainly to be VIP and XL customers who are reacting to the price drop. I just can't see Virgin having success selling TiVo to M+ and L TV customers.

Both myself and my parents are on M+ and both have TiVo now.

To get the most out of TiVo you really need TV XL plus SKY Movies and SKY Sports to fully justify the cost of the box, £3.00 per month charge and potentially a 18 month contract.

Can't agree with that at all. People want TiVo for different reasons. You don't need ANY package to justify it if you just want more recording space.
Secondly, you need the full package to justify the cost of the box? That is nonsense. It costs the same as V+ and is cheaper than the £5/month charge for V+. By your logic, nobody but people on the full package should want V+ either.
