I have just worked this one out, and found that VM have been a bit sneaky in the way they run Tivo. And for weeks l have been having an argument with my wife that we can get Tivo for free.

Just seen the small print in the deal, If you want Tivo 250 hours, it is free to install but you pay £49.95 for activation WHY, if you have cable already, all it is just to connect etc.

If you want the 1TB box You pay £49.95 for install and then £5.00 per month the same as the 250 hour one.

Whatever one you get you still have to pay £49.95 for the install, yet IF you are joining VM its Free altogether, VM have a good way to make money, you just make the customer confused. If you look at the page it tells you the above, but in the small print (which people quite often DON'T read it tells you the cost).
