However, I don't know if I want to lock myself into another 12 months just to get a faster box...

Well, I had to agree to be tied into another contract, but this was part of an overall retention deal. Not sure if those paying for their V6 will be though.

I don't think that VM will be making much (if anything) from charging these prices for the boxes, could be wrong though.
I imagine that the pricing has been pitched so as to attract and retain customers so that they can make money from the services taken.
Edit: With hindsight, if extra boxes attract another monthly TiVo fee, maybe you're right as this will benefit VM over the years (unless, as has been speculated in the past) this fee goes to TiVo themselves?
