In 10 years they've never sorted out 'Click' though... The merkins just can't understand a programme that's repeated 8 times a week... (I suspect the BBC are sending them duff data too).

Consistency can be an issue too, but it's much much better than V+, I have so many duplicate series links on that now. Hope Virgin can lean on Tribune to improve a little.

DF's news: 100 thumbs up.
BB news: 100 thumbs down. A waste of precious bandwidth

[mattboothers]

I have had enough of TiVO already. My brain is mashed with it and I dont have one yet

Nothing is going my way at all.

Did not win the raffle
Only on XL so cant get the offer discount of the install in April
Had no email since they said I didnt win te raffle even though they said I would get an email

[howardmicks]

ooops! we are off topic here

Perhaps to a more exciting topic

Thanks DF, I think that this forum has hopefully played a small part in getting the install fee waived, that will probably do it for me, so I will try and get a TiVo and 30Mb deal in one .. but I will wait until............


After April 11th, 12th or whenever I get the email the next email ( I have already had the Dean email, the not Dean email and a Cindy Rose email. I promise won't phone before then

Does anyone know if it's Tribune getting it wrong, or the TiVo?

Tribune supply the EPG data.

Will it be general CS or a sub-team with knowledge of the Tivo pricing and options, such as multi-room etc.?

Everyone gets an email for pre reg's on 11th(ish)... it will either invite you to order online or a special sales line to order.. if you have extra requirements then you will be able to ring the sales team too.

Will existing customers that did not register be able to order TiVo in April.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Yes, but after the pre reg's order, so probably a week later I think.

Sorry I need confirmation on one thing, still not completely decided as a no yet.

Question at the moment on TiVo you cannot get on demand sky box office events?

Thanks Digital Fanatic, very useful.

What is VIP50/100? Sorry its been a year or so since I have been with VM for my main tv service. Does it mean 50 or 100mb internet?

I am wanting to go back for 50mb internet and XL TV in both rooms (tivo for the lounge and the V+HD being relegated to the bedroom).

Much happier with the price if can have the install and £3 a month charge waived. I wont be paying for the sky channels as still find them very expensive but either way VM have kept me from resigning up with sky.

VIP is VMs Very Impressive Package. Basically everything that they offer, with the number at the end dictating BB speed.

Oh ok, does that include movie channels? I wouldnt want these anyway as dont watch sky movies, got rid of them on sky now.

I have just given 31 days notice to sky though as I am deffo getting tivo for my front room

[Ianmez78]

Hi if you are triple XL package with all sky premium channels and an extra box or VIP30
not sure about packge details completely would it be worth upgrading to VIP50 to get the tivo fee waved thanks

Install is free in April, so you are getting that knocked off.

VIP's (50 & 100 only)are getting the TiVo monthly charge waived. It will appear on the bill, but you will get a bigger discount to cover.

now stop moaning!!!!!

There is also more deals around additonal outlets, but you'll need to speak to sales or see this in the ordering process online

And.....just like that:

Snaps fingers

Were all

What will tomorrow bring? ? ? ? ?

Can't wait to see this thread explode on Monday-ish, feeling sorry for the server already, MUHAHAHAHAAHA!

Thanks DF.

Wonder if someone could help me with this?

At the moment I'm on VIP20 paying £98.54 broken down as follows:

Your main services £69.04
Telephone Line Rental £12.99
Talk Internationall £1.75
Talk Unlimited £8.00
Talk Mobile £1.75
T V Size: X L £26.00
1 Additional V Box £15.00
V+ HD Box £10.00
Add Set Box(es) Discount -£8.50
Phone,T V & B B Saving -£34.95
Broadband XL(20) £37.00

Your premium TV channels £29.50
Skymovie 2,SkyMovie 1,Sports 1, Sports 2 £29.50

So if I were to have the V Box replaced with TiVo then would I be right in saying that I would be charged an extra £3 bringing the total upto £101.54?

Would I also be right in saying that VIP50 is only £100.55 so by upgrading to VIP50 I would get 50Mb broadband, Super hub and HD Sports/Movies Fee for one box and TiVo fee for £1 less?

This does not seem correct to me. How can I be on a lower package and end up paying more when I have TiVo than someone on a higher package? Can someone clarify.

It's called giving you a reason to upgrade
