You have no idea what technical background I'm from and I've worked in this field for long enough to know that very little has changed with a good 80% simply a case of removing restrictions at literally the flick of a switch. We are talking about true dedicated DSL services here, not ADSL services which have limitations due to age of infrastructure and clever workarounds to push the boundaries of widespread PSTN technologies.

Considering Virgin Media deployed a D3 overlay network several years ago, which required brand new CTMS hardware everywhere, then that is completely wrong.

Because that is not the way Virgin Media operate. I'm also not aware of TiVo selling any UK cable compatible boxes directly.
If you want to buy your own box, there are plenty of alternatives such as Freesat from Sky, Freesat, Freeview and YouView

BT also don't allow you to hook up your own TV hardware, or have access to potential features not part of the official service
