I do understand that Virgin contract Cisco and more recently Samsung to manufacture and provide the hardware.
If it was just the US TiVo software, then there would be no On Demand content, nor would there be any Sky Movies channels due to lack of PIN protection, nor would the TiVo have a dedicated 10Mbit broadband connection - all features which were VM specific customisations of the TiVo experience.

Then there is the HD EPG and mini guide - both of which were developed for Virgin Media:TiVo and then backported into the US TiVo software
