That is true as I have looked at the contract that I received when I got TIVO and it says about the 7 days, but the 28 day mbg is only if you have taken it as a new service.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I saw this on Digitalspy and thought you lot may be interested as it mentions the 500Gb TiVo box..
Quote:
yes got an email from virgin Media today
it reads
Dear *******
Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo is here.
But before the TiVo boxes officially go on sale, you'll remember we promised you an exclusive chance to get one. And here it is.
Virgin Media customers go to the front of the queue.
With enough storage space for around 500 hours of standard TV, or around 100 hours of HD TV, demand is expected to be high when our 1TB TiVo box officially goes on sale. So to ensure you're first in line, make sure you call us on 0800 408 2159 and buy yours now.
An exclusive price for Virgin Media customers and an extra special offer.
We don't take entertainment lightly. That's why we're offering our VIP customers, with our up to 50Mb or up to 100Mb broadband, the opportunity to upgrade to TiVo for no additional monthly fee. It's normally £3.
Order our 1TB TiVo box now and it'll only cost £149.95 to activate your box. That's an exclusive customer-only price (to everyone else, it 's £199.95). And, because you were one of the first to pre-register, we won't charge you an installation fee either. So that's an extra £40 you can keep in your pocket.
Coming 16th May Our 500GB Tivo Box Exclusively For Exsisting Customers
Tivo 500GB Box
Storage for 250 Hours of Standard Tv
£49.95 For Box Activation
£3 additional monthly fee on TV XL
£40 Installation fee applies

Actually I think it's tomorrow.
The emails are being sent to VIPs first, then XL, then others customers, and lastly non-customers. It will take several days for them all to be sent.
Oh, and there are several different phone numbers, so please don't call any numbers posted on the internet. It's probably the wrong one for you.
