I've also been told that it could be because the tivos actually have four tuners and that one is used as the modem.

I always thought that the TiVo only had three tuners and that it used one of them for VOD.

If I'm wrong, maybe as part of the latest TiVo update they've allowed the 4th tuner to record when no Internet services are required??
Some VOD is delivered via one of the tuners typically used for recording, presumably so that the VOD mechanism remains compatible with non Tivo boxes. The other "tuner" is how iPlayer, Netflix etc... content is delivered. The latest update has not enabled recording on a 4th tuner. The modem "tuner" may be what allows the Tivo to discover streamed content so it can appear in Series Link+ list of shows in my shows but it isn't spawning a recording.
