The message coming across is that TiVo is somehow associated with broadband. If that is the case, then it looks conclusively that I must stay with V+, possibly getting a new free box, fitted free by the VM engineer as previously.
It's not associated with broadband as such, however as part of the upgrade to TiVo you could also take advantage of the newer broadband speeds, which would require new no-cost separate broadband kit.

The reason is that my TV is at one end of my through lounge and the PC at the other end. It is a long run from the TV and cable entry to my home, including over a door. Such a rewiring job is simply unacceptable for the TV viewing we do. It all works to perfection, so we have - If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
There is no need for new wires. TiVo would replace your existing TV box and the SuperHub would replace your existing modem. That's it.
