Exactly what I was going to say. You can subscribe at the same address,
use the same credit card/ direct debit details, but they don't have any
way of knowing that you *are* using it at the same address and not that
you're running a Tivo cut-down-subs reselling business (I need 150 
Tivos, yes, of course I do!)  ;)

The only way they could tell is by the CID, but Tivo's dial up to a POP
supplied by an ISP (can't rembember who... pipex or uunet or something)
so Tivo can't get your CID themselves. Either Tivo'd need to set up 
their own ISP POPs in every country they serve, or they'd need some way
of Tivo's talking to each other in the house to confirm they were still
in the same house......!

Or something......!
