They had activation problems with the original TiVo rollout. From what I recall from the briefing we were given (It was like 5 years ago now, so forgive me if the details are off), it's something to do with how the box gets activated with both Virgin (like any CPE) and Tivo themselves. Effectively, if it doesn't get activated correctly on one of the two systems, the box bricked itself or something daft like that.
