Thanks for that muppetman.
I thought the core functionality of a PVR is to be able to record using its internal tuners from an epg. You don't really need a Tivo to do that. The Tivo part of the stb is an additional subscription service as the V+ can is a PVR too but the cost of the EPG for this is included in the tv sub by VM.
