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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiVo#United_Kingdom

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

Quote:
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.
They must have decided it was too much?
