If Virgin plan to use TiVo to generate revenue from advertisers, they should drop the monthly fee for the box that customers are paying. Just my opinion.
Do Virgin make it clear to new sign up's to TiVo that adverts will be pushed to them? I honestly don't know the answer but would be curious to find out.

In the same way a pvr such as TiVo allows you to skip adverts on recorded shows, so I certainly don't feel like I have adverts forced on me.
Virgin don't make it clear that they will show these adverts, although I had a TiVo before they started, so that may have changed. I wonder if a better question is, if they did were up front about it, would it actually put anybody off? And how, exactly, should they describe it?
