V6 offer from VM

Had an email from VM today offering me a V6 for 20 quid

Should I feel special or is this a new promotion?

Off to read the relevant thread now to see what the user base thinks of it

Re: V6 offer from VM

If you use Tivos scart for anything ( I use mine to feed extra tvs & dvd recorder), be aware the V6 doesn't have one, just a single HDMI out.

Re: V6 offer from VM

Until now, I have not moved onto the V6, as I do not want to lose the recordings on my current TiVo. I have received the V6 offer email, which states the following:

"Keep your recordings and watch them on any Virgin TV box, powered by TiVo"

What exactly does this mean?

Re: V6 offer from VM

So that's talking about keeping your existing box and using the box to box streaming via your home network.

Re: V6 offer from VM

I must have been lucky when I got my V6 a few months ago, CS did not mention changing my Superhub and I didn't say anything either. It works and works well as it is all I care about

Thanks, Ben, for confirming that - it certainly helps with transitioning to V6.

Apart from the £20 one-off fee, is there any increase in the monthly bill, for having an extra box?

Re: V6 offer from VM

Yes, you'll have to pay an extra £7.50 per month to keep the TiVo. You can get rid of it when you've watched the backlog of recordings. No TV required but you must have both a co-ax and home network connection to both the V6 and TiVo.

So it doesn’t have to change ?

Had a lot of trouble with wifi before we managed to get an engineer out a few months ago. He put a sh2 in and it’s been flawless since

We’ve got so many devices connected now it would be more trouble than it’s worth to have to swap it out if the sh3 didn’t perform as well

That’s the only thing stopping me, nothing on the tivo we especially need to keep so happy to have a new toy to play with

Re: V6 offer from VM

As long as you have a 2 or 2ac you won't get it swapped automatically. However you may get offered the Hub 3.0 as part of the change.
