Obviously, I know that I will need a Netflix subscription. My question is: will I still have to pay the monthly TiVo subscription fee if I only want to use the box to stream Netflix movies, and not cable?

I'm pondering getting rid of my cable service, and just using Netflix and iTunes (via I-TV) to buy the content I want, since (like most people) I probably watch 2% of the crap that my cable company streams to me.

I'm aware that there is a Netflix-only box, but I already own a Tivo. If I can use it for this purpose, I'll keep the Tivo box. If I have to keep subscribing to Tivo, howerver, it would be more economical in the long-term to buy the Netflix-only box for $100.

Thanks in advance!

Only the Series 3 TiVo units, like the TiVo HD can stream Netflix. And yes, you will have to continue to pay the TiVo subscription. You can drop it down to a little more than $10 per month if you prepay one year's worth at $129.

You should also have a broadband connection that can sustain at least 3 mbits/sec. Mine does about 5 mbits/sec and it looks very good with my TiVo HD. However, the streaming movies are only standard definition.
