Maybe they're upgrading existing TiVo customers to free up TiVo's to give to V+ customers??

An Asian channel war is predicted on Sky with the advent of a new Asian pack, new channels and conversions to HD. As advertising revenues decrease due to more competition and costs rise (apparently, it costs over a million quid to convert to HD), casualties are expected.

How this will affect VM remains to be seen:

You know what Richard, I phoned retentions today to see when my contract was up, unfortunately it isn't up till early October this year, so I enquired about being chosen for a free upgrade to a V6, and as I had anticipated, the girl said that the customers were chosen at random, to which I replied, so I've been a customer for 20 years or more and can miss out on a free upgrade given to someone on a lower package and a much lower service in terms of loyalty, and you guessed right, yes she said.
I find this totally disgusting from VM, if anybody deserves a free upgrade it's long term, high paying customers, their PR dept is a friggin joke!
