Mostly stability and speed of the UI I would think.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Does anyone know what sort of circumstances you need to have to get a free upgrade to a 1TB TiVo? That was all I was told, but they didn't say anything about what those circumstances are.
Asking for a relative btw, managing just on a 500GB box.

Also, if they already have a TiVo box wouldn't they be able to only pay the activation fee rather than the installation fee, as it would surely be a case of swapping the boxes and sending back the 500GB one.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
As far as I'm aware there is no free upgrade route between 500GB and 1TB
The cheapest if available would be a self install for the 1TB box which would cost £20 delivery and £49.95 activation.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Would that be added to the next months bill or is it paid upfront?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Normal process is for it to be added onto the next available bill

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Thanks Ben, will let them know. I assume to do a self install you would need to call them to arrange it rather than through My Virgin Media?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
I'd recommend doing that yes.

I think they would be nicer if they were a gloss black finish.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Ditto. Does it matter what it looks like as long as it does what it should do then who gives a flying javelin if it looks nice or not?
