Any equipment given out by VM is 'rented' whilst you subscribe to their services and should you cease to subscribe then VM will want their equipment back as per SP's post. And yes, the TiVo has a built in modem to which VM allocate a 10Mb connection when you subscribe. The 10Mb connection and TV signal come through a single coax cable from the TiVo to the VM socket on your wall.

'Activation' is basically you subscribing to VM and them allocating a TiVo box (or other equipment) to your account to receive their services.

Also with VM, if you have a cabled street then there is no ADSL in sight.
