If you buy or receive a second hand TIVO from Ebay or elsewhere then you will be receiving stolen goods, because at all times the box remains the property of Virginmedia, also the TIVO will not work as it cannot be added to your account, and its only use would be as an expensive paperweight.

The same applies to any 3rd party set top box you purchase regardless of make or model it will never be allowed on the Virginmedia network.

Call Virgin and get a box from them that you know will work.
