Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Awesome news about the free install!

I joined the pre-reg list but never received the "dear dean" email

When I joined the pre-reg list I wasnt a Virgin Media customer, but I am now. Will I be able to get a Tivo box for £149.99 plus a free install in April?

Thanks

That was a very wise move indeed I think. It seems a lot of people on here would have not bothered with Tivo because of the install charge. I already have the box, but I wouldn't have paid the extra. Good move from VM.

Lets hope this helps push Tivo out there to more of the masses.

I am also interested in the smaller box as I would like to replace our V+ in the bedroom as it keeps filling up with all the HD recordings I do on it!

You should be able to, although I am sure I will be corrected if I am talking nonsense!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Any word on whether we would lose our retention deals by signing up? Came up against that when I enquired about the 'free' upgrade to VIP30 from VIP20.

Is there a way I can be added to the mailing list at this stage? It seems to be an oversight that i'm not on there already as I did register. I emailed Virgin from the website helpform and they didnt know what I was talking about. Would seem unfair to miss out as I registered

Thanks

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

An instructional DVD would be a great idea with every install MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR TIVO SERVICE with Dean LOL

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

DF, do you know if we will be able to order more than one Tivo from the email link? I'd like to replace both my V+ boxes.

Am not usually fussy on price merely careful, but unwilling to be happy about a fee AND an installation charge.

I think you'd be directed to sales for that, rather than online.

Cheers DF. I am in no rush anyway.

Starting to look very promising indeed.
