Thanks again

Here this is from a e-mail that i received a while ago:

It has been confirmed today, that if a VIP 50 customer who takes TiVo in their main room and wishes to keep their V+ box in their second room (returning the V HD) - they will incur no additional cost.

You will only be charged £10/month extra if you keep both your existing boxes after the TiVo box is installed i.e. you have 3 boxes (The TiVo, V+ and V HD)

Hope this helps?

I have three boxes already, two V+ and one V HD. If I replace the V HD with one of my V+ when I get a TiVo will I have to pay more per month!

I do not know that one, When I asked it was just about the VIP50 pack and not if you have 3 boxes already. Sorry I can not help with this one

Has it been answered what happens if someone currently has two V+ (on VIP 20) and replaces one of them with a Tivo? Would I actually be making a saving considering that the second box costs the £10 pm? i.e. going from £10pm for second box to £3 pm?

Good news!Yes you would not be charged the £10 extra. I had the same and my bill has gone down £10(I got tivo free)

That's a bit different though isn't it as effectively you've only got one box. The tivo one is free and the V+ one is part of your package. In this situation I guess it depends on whether they class the tivo as the primary or secondary box.

Great - I'm on VIP50 with 2 V+HD boxes, so if Tivo gives me a £7.00 credit,
(saving £10 add box - less £3 Tivo), then I'm definitely in!!

Perhaps Ben could confirm

I am on VIP50 with a Tivo, V+HD and activated VHD and pay (pre april changes) £106 a month. They are basically charging me an extra £5.60 for the VHD box, as well as the £3 extra for the Tivo box. I believe my bill goes up to £110ish after April.

I don't know the specific charges but thought my situation might help to decode the VM billing mysteries!

VIP 50 with 2 V+ and basic box. Would I be charged £7 less if Tivo replaced the basic box?

I had the same as you, 2 V+ and a basic box.

I now have 2 Tivos and 1 V+.

My monthly bill has gone down by £7.

I would take what he says with a pinch of salt.

Well I had my email last month saying I would be contacted late March on how I could order Tivo since had pre-registered last December. So only another 3 days maximum then otherwise it will be egg on the faces of VM and they will be getting a call this Friday if nothing is received! Comments have been posted here to say they are still due to issue these emails, so I do actually expect it to arrive; not long now.

However, I’ve heard it said you can book your install date. That could be interesting, as I can hear now “ the earliest date I can book an install is in July, shall I go ahead sir?!!!!” We’ll all be posting here to find out who has the earliest install. Hope VM has expanded the number of trained installation engineer for this launch!

The rollout is not being done area-by-area, though there may be restrictions from time to time due to staff and STB availability.

There are already plenty installed in the Wolverhampton area (and every other area)
