So why should a TiVo contract relate to Spotify? Or have I missed something?

Look at my last post and that might give you a clue.

If you want to go for the six month offer, you need to be on an Open/free account
If you don't want the six month offer, then you can get a Premium account whenever you like

Actually it doesn't matter, VM gave me 12 months free, you get it as a code that you add to your account. If you already have a premium account it just extends the date your paid up to.

That was a different offer.
The one announced today has a different process
---------- Post added at 13:32 ---------- Previous post was at 13:31 ----------
How do I link an existing Spotify account to my Virgin Media or Mobile account?

If you’ve taken a Broadband offer and are a paying Spotify customer; Unlimited or Premium, you can still link your accounts. First you’ll need to downgrade your Spotify account to their free service, then come back and register through My Virgin Media. Don’t worry, as you go through the registration process we’ll guide you through what to do.

How does that work for those of us who have recently entered a new 12 month contract when taking on Tivo? I presume that the new Spotify contract will just replace the Tivo one, is that correct?

I entered into a new contract 2 weeks ago when I had Tivo installed

What's the Ethernet port for on the TiVo box I just connect one of my homeplugs to it?
Do I need to do anything else to set it up?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
At the moment it's for nothing. When Virgin launch the iPad app you'll need to use it to connect the TiVo box to your router

Is it for the rumoured shared recordings between multiroom boxes?

It'll be for that as well when it's launched but the only thing officially announced is the iPad app
