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



They must have decided it was too much?
If I remember correctly, the Tivo's released in December 2010 went to VM employees only. Then in early 2011, selected customers were given a Tivo to trial, before the official release later in 2011 (April?). And initially, after the official release, only existing VM customers could get one. New customers signing up had to wait a while for a Tivo.
