Why won,t they let us purchase another box even though it is the smaller box, can,t Virgin plan and deliver anything properly and on time.

I suspect the CS person got it wrong and you can have 2 Tivos. Sadly, CS giving out wrong information is way too common.
These days, before I change any of my VM services, I check out the forums to see what the 'right' answer is before phoning CS, so i can put them right if necessary.
I checked on here that it was possible to have 2 tivos before I ordered.

Yes it is very common when you get one of their foreign call centre staff.

Don't know - and it could just be misinformation on the part of the CS agent that dealt with the call asking for a 500 in addition to the 1TB. I'm just commenting on a possible explanation - I have no knowledge if this is the case.

In my experience, they don't have to be foreign!

That is very well said  As if all the staff are briefed, Kept up to date and monitored every so often they would all be able to give out the same info.
I have worked in a call centre and the amount of people who gave out the wrong info was just wrong and they put it in their notes, So when I was part of the complaints team we reported them. IMHO This is what seems to be lacking

You can, just sounds like someone got their info wrong at the callcentre. Try again.
