The only other way to get HBO via Tivo is if VM finally do a deal with Sky to get Sky Atlantic. But that looks dead in the water for the foreseeable future.
I agree that the first run shows will probably be available only as PPV, but the older material could be subscription. Say, anything over about 2years old.

I'd be happy with that if talks on Sky Atlantic are not going to get anywhere after all.
