Thanks
I honestly don't know for sure... you'll need to speak to Customer Care once the pre-sale launch is announced.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

thanks DF - I guess it depends largely whether the pre-sale launch is redeemed with a unique code per customer or whether you simply have to go online to a specific landing page, or call a specific number. If its the later I should be fine

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Stephen and I have answered that query earlier on in this thread

You just need to place your order in April (once the launch email is sent!) so if you can't get a date until May, then you will ok.

We should have enough boxes too

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Great news DF, much better pricing. Day 1 for sure now!!

Great to see that VM do listen to our feedback. I'm sure they'll get alot more orders at this price!

That is a very important point!

I think anyone who is on a retention bundle will need to speak to Customer Care/Sales once launched, but I'm unaware of any restriction being placed on TiVo as such.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I have a quick question - to save me having to read through everything to get the answer ...

I've had my Tivo for about three or four weeks now having signed up as soon as I was aware of it (existing VM customer, S1 Tivo left connected to phone line for wishlists but still with Sky programme numbers) so does this make me a "VIP" or not? If so, what's the benefit? If not, should I give a damn??

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

VIP means the VIP bundle i.e. these http://shop.virginmedia.com/bundles/...e-package.html

Just no pleasing some people
BUT i didnt say i expect it for nowt NOW ... i was meaning further down the line when they have to give everyone a TiVo for nowt if they want to replace the V+ boxes

SO please stop jumping on my comments which you have done for weeks now , its bordering on harassment to have you always knock everything i write.
