Are you?

Well, having read the other replies, apparently not.

The XC website I use, after asking which station you wish to
collect your ticket from, says:

"Collect your ticket(s) from the ticket machine at [nominated
station]."

Then gives the same message on the confirmation screen. There's no
suggestion that you can use other (connected) ticket machines.
But thanks for the tip.

XC is an exception because they have no stations of their own. What are
they
charging you for TOD?

XC only charge for TOD collection when there is a print at home alternative
available (which is free). Essentially that is for advance tickets that are
only valid on XC services. For any open tickets or tickets valid on more
than one TOC, you can still use TOD for free.
