TiVo Commander use(s) the (currently) undocumented enhanced TiVo APIs to work, rather than the more basic Remote protocol (apps which use that continue to work).
So TiVo boxes were updated to block unauthorised access to the protocol in both the UK and US. This also stopped the hack that got the get US TiVo iOS app working on VM TiVo.
For the US boxes, it seems the person behind TiVo / DVR Commander has worked out how to get around the block again, but hasn't done so for VM boxes.
