Haha I got the garbled hold message too... it kept going "BT, TalkTalk", and now I've got that in my head. Not very good advertising from VM you'd have to think
Anyway, all went smoothly and installation booked for Wednesday. I must add my thanks to DF for keeping us in the loop.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Hi and just a quick question to DF (or anybody else in the know) with regards to the 500gb TIVO. I've not had any email yet with regard to pre-ordering the 1gb box, but was wondering can the 500gb box be pre ordered, when I finally receive my email, or will I have to wait until May.
Thanks in advance.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
OK, so I'd like to get Tivo, but my better half uses quite a few of the features on V+ that haven't yet made it to Tivo, like recording to VHS/DVD whilst watching something different, reminders etc.
I also have a VHD (not V+) box in the back room as part of my VIP20 package, so I'm thinking, go for the Tivo deal and replace the back room VHD with Tivo, keeping the V+ in the living room for the time being. Then, when the missing features are added, or when the wife gets used to Tivo, switch the boxes round.
My question is, could I just change the two boxes (Tivo and V+) over myself when the time comes, or would it need another visit, activation fees, install charges etc.?

the info on tvio for vip users the monthly fee was being waived. is it just
a case that they have to do it that way and the discount is rasied, the people on the sales line , and billing line did not seam to know any about
vip packages disscount. that is why i am asking you , as you seam to know
what is going on

What it shows on my bill is the £3 charge for TIVO and also a credit for the charge.
Also in regards to the VIP50 charge I am still been charged £100.55 as that is now the charge for the bundle.

No, the 500gb can't be pre-ordered, sorry. You will have to wait until May and that box will incur a install charge of £40. HTH

You should be able to swap yourself.

Another question not sure if you know the answer , my parents are on triple XL mates rate package , can they still swap their V+ for a 500gb TIVO if they wish for 49.95 plus 40 install , they haven't pre registered however my dads in the same boats as many on here the V+ fills up to quickly with HD.
