It surely must be in Virgin Media's interests to have a good choice of streaming services on an updated TIVO. It would be the only solution (at the moment) for those viewers who want maximum content options available on one box. Most people would be absolutely delighted with this.

If that became part of VM'S strategy, I have no doubt at all that deals could be done.

If TV manufacturers can do it, so can Virgin. With a well thought out strategy, VM could make money, not lose money from this.
