Once the VM Tivo appeared, wasn't it Tivo who dropped support for series 1?

Originally sky yes but then Tivo went independent and you could use it with Freeview, Sky or Cable by paying a monthly sub for the guide data or a one off Lifetime payment. Then Virgin entered into a UK exclusive agreement (as I understand it) with Tivo and the monthy subs/ "lifetime agreements" were null and voided, effectively killing it off although some clever people kept it going at least for a while.
