If you take the VIP package Cinemagic is included as you get it as part of the full sky movies package.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

I've been on VIP50 for the last 7 months or so and recently called VM to enquire about taking up Tivo. I was quoted 49.95 as a one off fee for the Tivo 500 box and 3 quid extra per month for the service. I tried to get VM to drop the 3 quid fee per month as I was on VIP50 but they wouldnt back down. I'm not being funny but new customers to VIP50 look like they get it included when I check the Virginmedia.com site. Surely existing customers like myself should get the same deal?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

I'm not sure why this is still a problematic area from VM's point of view. All sales staff should be aware this fee is included with VIP50. However, the Â£3 is billed the reduction is made by increasing the bundle discount by Â£3. So technically I suppse, they are charging you for it.

What price did they quote you per month for VIP50?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

I have VIP50 plus and extra V Box and pay Â£2 extra for 0845 and 0870 and was told thats about Â£109. I said I couldn't justify another Â£3 when the line rental is going up in August.

I just upgraded, I actually saved money by doing it. I am and was on VIP 50, only thing I changed was a TiVo box and was able to keep my existing V+ in the second room. I am getting charged Â£100.55, so yours should be Â£102.55 with your Â£2 charge.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

When you say an extra V box do you mean a total of three boxes? With VIP50 you can have two of any box included in the monthly fee. So two TiVos if you want and just pay the upfront charges. Any subsequent box is an extra Â£6.50 a month. So at the moment your price sounds correct if you have three boxes and the 0845/0870 add on.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

I believe it is two of any box. We have two 1TB TiVo boxes and an activated VHD box in a third room. We get charged Â£100.55 plus Â£6.50 a month. I'm sure someone will be able to confirm this.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

hmm, i do not know then, because i was thinking about upgrading, and if you select the VIP TiVo Bundle it automatically selects 500GB Tivo and a V HD box, if you change the V HD box and tick a Tivo or V HD +, the monthly price goes up.

Ben could i ask exactly what your current services are as your monthly bill seems quite cheap? thanks

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

I am on the standard VIP50 with two 1TB boxes and a VHD box.

The online configuration tool isn't brilliant. I am not able to spec up the setup we have online which is a pain. But if you phone up and order VIP50 they should give you the correct monthly price. You may find you have quite a few one off charges if you are adding extra boxes.
