Because unlike the Tivo, which has its own separate 10MB interweb connection, the V6 doesn't have one. It would still work but you'd get no programme updates or be able to use IPlayer etc.
Do what's best for you Ken. The engineer will probably have both types of boxes if you ask. I have a Tivo and a V6. The V6 is certainly quicker and has more storage, i use mine via Wifi and its ok 99% of the time, very occasionally i have to 'reconnect'/'reboot'. One thing about the V6, it doesn't have a SCART output if you use that for anything.
However if you want the old Tivo, ask for it. Personally i'd go for the V6 in your situation, if the Wifi works fine in your house.
