If one of those boxes goes faulty, you'll get a Samsung V+ HD box as it's replacement

Faulty V+ boxes are currently being replaced with another V+ box. Seems a waste of time to me as they will eventually have to be replaced with a TiVo software compatible box anyway!
TiVo and V+ HD are not the same product. There is a different pricing structure for customers on XL tv for a start - it has to be a chosen change.

That's Disconnections, who do have some leeway in costs under certain circumstances. However I was talking about the standard cost, which is £20.

It's not mean at all - how do Virgin Media know what has happened to the box. It could not work at all, it could have been tampered with electrically or mechanically to be unsafe for either the customer or the local network or, very unlikely these says, have been altered to bypass the network security.
