IIRC, customers could pay to upgrade to an HD box and then it became free. Not sure when they started charging again.

In the end everybody will need to have either a Tivo or a TiVo compatible V Box. I'm sure that customers who refuse to pay for a new box will be upgraded for free, as it would cost more in lost revenue by losing customers.

Does anyone know if both the SD and HD V boxes are TiVo compatible?
Because it's cheaper to do so, one assumes. When it ceases to be economic, things will change.

In the meantime, if the individual wants to get HD, the onus really is on the customer to talk to VM about it and see what deals are available.
