That is spot on there matey :)

No special deal, that was the price prior to the pending price increases for August.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

ok, that sounds very reasonable as you have two tivo boxes and an extra V HD box, they wanted to charge me the same but only one tivo and one VH +

if they offered me the half price offer that would clinch the deal

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

Well I would have taken the Tivo 500GB box for a one off fee and replaced the V+ box in the front room. But as they said it was an extra 3 quid even though I'm on VIP50 I said sod that. Company too big it seems to know what to advise people these days. Seriously considering calling it a day with all bar my BB at the end of the year when the contracts up.

If you are on VIP 50 swapping a V+HD box for TiVo shouldn't cost you any more per month

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

I know that now Ben but it's annoying when I called to enquire and got through to 3 different agents in 3 different departments and get told its extra after being on the phone half an hour.

Definitely any two boxes - have VIP50 with 2 x 1TB TiVo's and no other boxes. I have a couple of extra services so my monthly cost is more, but before I added the extra bits it was 100.55/month - so it IS any two boxes.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

I believe you could even have three TiVos for the same price. The way they are pricing it at the moment makes me very tempted to swap our VHD box to a 500GB Tivo. I presume that would just be the Â£49.95 upfront cost and no change to the monthly cost?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

wat i do not understand is that the website advertises the VIP 50 Tivo but does not make you aware you can have any two boxes at no extra monthly charge, just extra one off payments.

question:with tivo there is Â£3 monthly charge, is this ignored when you take VIP 50?

Shortage of boxes or protect their back if they change their mind on pricing later on I'd imagine.

The TiVo charge is just for having TiVo regardless of how many boxes, even on VIP yeah.

I think I wasn't clear enough or I've misinterpreted that message. However the Â£3 charge is paid (directly or in a package) that Â£3 covers any number TiVo box you get. You could have 4 TiVo boxes and there would still only ever be that Â£3 that needs to be paid (directly or in a package).
