It seems clear to me in the US that TIVO is just for the enthusiasts and not mass market , which was proven last quarter when over 200,000 subscribers left.
Tivo in the US and through VM are different products. Tivo on UK cable is part of an STB service that VM are providing. VM actually plan to add a lot of apps and features that have nothing to do with Tivo to the STB that they are marketing as Tivo.

It is no doubt a product for the enthusiast and is a premium product which is what VM market and price it as. It will only become mainstream cable when VM decide they want that to happen.
