The TiVo charge is £8, so it actually costs VM £3 to provide the Player Pack, but they make their money on the BB and phone. They will also make a bit on PPV, premium channels etc.

That is good news, previously even those where it hadn't expired were being turned away!

I think that it will be cut further in the future and then abolished altogether. I'm not sure why as I would have thought that the upfront payment would be useful, it's a retention tool and makes peoples bills appear smaller.
