Stay as they are until they change something (other than as part of the BB retier)

What would the total be Ben and would it be the same whether 500Gb or 1Tb as extra box?

TiVo is something we are considering soon, just wondering what new cost (with phone included) would be with 2 TiVos, VHD and a standard box on the new VIP Collection.

Re: Virgin Media revamps its bundles

Brilliant move by VM , I'm taking it those packages with TIVO already include the TIVO fee , its brought the packages to much better value for money

Example
Premiere £45.00 + £13.90 = £58.90

Sky Price
Sky Talk £12.25
Sky Fibre 40mb £20.00
Sky Entertainment+ £25.00
HD Pack £10.25
Multiroom £10.25
Total = £77.75 meaning VM is a whopping £18.85 cheaper and includes ESPN unlike Sky were it costs £9.00 for Sports subscribers and £12.00 for non Sky Sports subscribers.

Well done VM.

You'd be looking at £103.90 for the core bundle (1TB TiVo + V HD) and then £11.50 for another TiVo and £6.50 for the V/V HD/V+ HD box
So total monthly cost would be £121.90

I'm assuming you haven't got TiVo? You get free 1TB activation with the VIP Collection, but you would have to pay £49.95 for the 500GB TiVo activation

Slight change to the VIP Collection price due to the correction.

Re: Virgin Media revamps its bundles

Thanks Ben appreciated. Correct in no TiVo yet (we have original TV Drive) - sorry one more question if we went for additional 1Tb TiVo instead of 500Gb is the fee still the same?

It would be £99.95 rather than £49.95. Monthly cost would stay the same

Not at the moment mate I'm on a retentions deal , Sky World , ESPN , Sky BB and Talk with a Sky+HD multiroom box paying just under £78.00 so even at them prices VM wouldn't come close however when it's up in 11 months I would certainly look.
