Agreed, I reckon you'll all have calls soon. There was a lot of chatter in the background when the call came through so I'm guessing they have many people making the calls. :-)

£149 for a piece of equipment you don't even own and have to pay an additional monthly fee to use. Yikes.

Re: TiVo
 

I would take that over £199 for a box that once run out of warranty means you've got to shell out for someone to come fix it.

Re: TiVo
 

Interesting that there is no £40 install fee.

I'm unsure whether I believe this offer to be the 'norm'.
Maybe it's because you have VIP50 service that the install fee is waived :confused:

Only time will tell, I guess.

Re: TiVo
 

So how do you get to this Sofa Forum to get the new open communications form VM about the Tivo launch?

Re: TiVo
 

Thanks Ben.

Re: TiVo
 

So far the pricing for anyone offered S1/VIP has been the same, as above.

Re: TiVo
 

Didn't Mersey70 get a call and offered it for 149 only and I'm sure he's not a VIP customer , the 40 install may apply if its opened to customers with less than the XL package.

Re: TiVo
 

It's only going to be for customers on XL and above. This may change at a later date.

Re: TiVo
 

I've also had a call offering me Tivo for £149.

Re: TiVo
 

Good stuff.. did you go for it? :)

Re: TiVo
 

Yikes indeed. I've no intention of purchasing a tivo box for vm only for them to rent it back to me for a monthly fee.

Utter madness.:mad:

Re: TiVo
 

I wouldnt object to the £149 as a payment for a new improved product ... i just dont see that i need it for my TV habits

I also object to VM only accepting payment in advance paid by card on the phone ...

add to fact my personal feelings are ... I wont pay for something that others on the same package as me are getting for free .. and i know some will call that jealously or petty ... but thats my feelings about it ... fairness for all , equality and all that guff :D ( i dont want a personalised remote just the same deal as others on my package)

thats my views of which no doubt most will disagree but shucks .. im allowed em anyway :p:

Re: TiVo
 

Then you won't be getting one ;)

that's the deal on the table, plenty will snap VM's arm off for it. :)
