Nearly 30 minutes since I asked about my install on the VM Tivo community forum, no reply or PM. Anyone know if I can just call the normal Virgin 151 or do I have to call a different number?

GRIZ, if you go on saynoto0870.com and search for VM there is an entry for the installs team. This number gets you through to a person in the UK who can check that you are booked in.

I've just done it and all is as planned.

Getting TiVo installed on Wednesday as an additional box (already got a V+, V HD and a Samsung). So TiVo therefore my 4th box.

Got my new contract stuff in. Expected to pay an additional £6.50 multiroom charge, but it's gone up by £10.50! From £103 to £113.50.

Not happy to say the least. Can anybody explain how they may have come about this additional cost?

Cheers

My contract was £20.00 more than expected
Was told that the contract was wrong - agreed original price
It really depends who you talk to - I'm afraid VM pricing staff are not giveb the right information
Good luck - let us know how you get on

I am getting my Tivo box installed on Wednesday (hopefully) and i was just wondering if when you put the box on standby does the harddrive switch off after a few minutes like the V+?

Good call. I'd like to know how it behaves too. My Samsung box annoys me at night with it's bright blue LEDs. I'd like to see a box with no standby light on at all. Why do we need a standby light? Press the remote button to turn it on, if it doesn't, it's not plugged in. Done.

The TiVo is blissfully quiet (compared to my old V+ box). You'd never know if the hard drive was on or off.

Trouble is at night when im trying to sleep noises get 10 times louder lol so im hoping the Tivo will stop the hardrive if its not being used.

same here. Sammy V+ is generally quiet but has a habit of running the fan for long period when in standby. I've heard the Tivo doesn't have a fan so should be pretty silent.

Apparently the additional cost is £6.50 multiroom and the rest is by way of price increases for various things (boxes, talk plans, etc, etc).

Have I, once again (as I have come to expect from VM) been diddled?

Ok just had my install took about a hour to do the engineer had not do one before and I help to get my old v+ moved.
His work order had me getting a new vhd box I explained that I got a phone call on Friday saying I could keep my v+ and move it for free and not pay anything for it each month.
The only problem so far is the Iplayer won't work it freezes when it loads

All I can tell you at the moment is it is being investigated.
