To use to pay the man that comes round your house to install it. I'm guessing it will be a long time before it come "Self Install" style.

Remember they did not do that with 50Mb we had to wait a good while before it went on the Staff package, so it may be a while before staff get it any cheaper.

Happy to be enlightened.

According to Virgin's twitter account current customer pricing details are to be announced soon. Also an FAQ from the sofa (http://www.virginmediasofa.com)

Thanks for that Ben jb66 keeps spouting 189 for exsisting customers.

Re: Tivo
 
so are the existing customer prices outlined by media boy now invalid?

Re: Tivo
 
I was really excited about this but upon reflection im not now....
All i can now think is that id be paying 149 plus install for the privilege of renting this box plus an extra 3 pound a month for some software that was pioneering once upon a time and is essentially the same with a flash interface that wouldnt have been very hard to make. would rather be able to put a bigger hard disk in v+. 1TB is only about 30-40 pound retail :mad:

Pretty stupid the install fee for existing customers. Waste of everyones time to unplug a few wires

Are you actually knowledgeable about what is involved in installing the new box?

Perhaps the dedicated internet connection which the box has will need balancing with the customer's existing broadband connection.

Perhaps the signal levels are completely different on this new box.

Perhaps........

Perhaps you are wrong to assume that it is simply replacing wires (and hoping it works).
