Fairly sure I paid £100 to upgrade in march/April 2011 (an offer that was only made to existing customers).

I can't remember and took the info from here

It does say VM released it in DEC 2010 which i guess would make strategic sense, enabling people to get one and record all the repeats over christmas
Catchup services were in their infancy back then and i don't think all the terrestrial channels had them?
One of the links from that Wiki page says this, from DS

Any customers wanting to get the TiVo service will need to pay £199 (plus a £40 installation charge), along with a £26.50 monthly subscription for the XL package when bundled with a Virgin phone line, or £32.50 without.
