And is there another PVR for Sky as an alternative to Sky+? So what was the point?

Well there was the original alpha/beta testers
Not relevant.

then the 'Tivo 500' then those that got the engraved remote through the post (free Tivo for life?) then there was the raffle. I think that probably covers more than your 2000
Fair point. More than I remember

then there are people like me who where offered the Tivo if we kept the V+, now I know there was an additional outlay for the Tivo but the ongoing multiroom discount (my bill also fell by a couple of £'s per month) more than offset the cost so in reality a free Tivo.
Yes, and? There are offers all the time. A Tivo is still a Tivo.

So all in all I think the figure of 'Certainly not many more than 2000' is probably well short of the mark
I count no more than the 2,500 outlined above. But then they are still "a Tivo in a customers house". As are the rest; however they're accounted for.

Unless you're looking to a. be pedantic and b. any excuse to belittle the success of the VM Tivo.
