TiVo - Page 399

Oh, forgot summat that I got told in the VM store

The EBAY app, which the guy admitted was pretty much for browsing, is being looked at so that it links to your own eBay account. If you win then the cost of your winning bid will be added to your following months Virgin bill!!

Ok, I'm taking this with a major pinch of salt but he had a couple of other VM staff who were agreeing with him so maybe there is substance to this? Can any of the VM staff on here confirm this?

Having seen a demo I've gone from being a bit "Yeah, TiVo might be a nice bit of kit to have" to full on rabid "GIMME GIMME GIMME"!!

TiVo only has one SCART and no you can't

I received the TiVo user telephone call from Virgin Media last week asking me what I thought of it. I told them I'm mostly pleased with it and if they can continue improving speed and reliability, as well as adding box-to-box streaming of recordings as well as support for the TiVo bluetooth slide out remote control then I'll be very happy. Has anyone else been called?

Woah, chill. Tongue in cheek again, I'll put it away, sorry.

There's not much more to be said on this thread really! Maybe it's time to put it to bed and start a fresh topic without all the recriminations.

No, not yet. Need to get to page 400 first!

Yes but then you may say get to 500?

Have Virgin Media ever given a solid launch date for any product that they've released in the past? Serious question.

comfortbear · 02-04-2011, 21:39

Wooooohooooo we've reached page 400

I think the point he is trying to make is because of the high
cost of TIVO VM are unlikely to get the uptake they hoped they would. Perhaps the baby TIVO will do better if marketed and priced better.

I do understand where people are saying that VM need to recover their costs but this also needs to be weighed against maintaining their customer base. I am not excessively complaining though - I'm just sticking with my V+ box until the time is right. I think many others will do the same.

I entered the website competition but didn't win. I didn't bother pre-registering as I believed in all likelihood I wouldn't be able to afford it. I think that the £149 plus a £40 intall fee for a box that you are renting, when many of us paid upfront for V+, I was right. I was a little surpirsed, as I thought that pre-reggers would get a better deal than that, but there's no point in moaning as there is no compulsion to get one. It looks like a good product, albeit still with the odd bug, I'll probably take a look at the smaller version when that is launched.

For the people who were moaning when it got to March 31st and were moaning they hadn't had their email, have you really been sitting round your computers for 4 months waiting, LOL! And as for some of the abuse at VM staff, well that is completely out of order. If waiting for a new cable box is the worst thing that is happening in your life, then it ain't that bad!

Has any company? Serious question.

So much for my suggestion then!
