If you have a TiVo Series2 or Series3 DVR and opt out, we will not collect your viewing logs.
If you have a TiVo Series4 or newer TiVo product (e.g. TiVo Mini, TiVo Roamio or TiVo BOLT) and choose "Do not share" as your privacy status, we will still collect your viewing logs, but will use them only to provide you with features of the TiVo service as described in this policy (for example, to suggest a particular TV show that you may enjoy).

The VM term covers the collection of the logs for the TiVo features, and sharing of that data in aggregated form. As the term does then say:

This will not personally identify you. This aggregated data may be used by those third parties for marketing purposes.

It's just that there isn't a specific opt out of the aggregated data when you have V6 or TiVo with Virgin Media - but again that's been true from the start.

The law specifically allows a copy for time-shifting purposes NOT for archiving.

Time-shifting
A recording of a broadcast can be made in domestic premises for private and domestic use to enable it to be viewed or listened to at a more convenient time.
The making of a recording of a broadcast for purposes other than to time-shift a programme for you or your family is likely to be illegal.

By having a Virgin Media PVR (or any other PVR) you're already time-shifting. There is no legal right to make a further copy.
