Good as just bide your time if need be until the right deal comes along.

No one seems to have a clue how to process ans what should be what. I just hope they don't increase my package price now or I'll scream lol

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I was told there was a £7.50 a month charge for the V6

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I was quoted 49.99 and 14.99 for one v6 box yet again. This was after i made a complaint in an email and got a phone call back. Better than the 90 odd quid i was quoted before.

I was told it would be cheaper but im only on 152MB broadband and needed to be on vivid 200 for it to be cheaper. I explained i will be on vivid 200 when they bother to upgrade my area which is due this month. she hesitated and said "youll be on vivid 200 when yes". So i countered that surely i should get a discount as im on the top package.

She explained id need to upgrade my broadband firstly.

I gave up. Im not on the maximum broadband speed as they havent done my area yet. So this penalises me?

Im giving up till the new year!

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

All areas have 200, your discount on your account is preventing you getting 200

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I currently have Full House TV Package/Vivid 200 (Non-Gamer)/Sky Sports & Movies (Non-HD) - 500GB TIVO Box & V+ Box

Currently paying around - £127.88
Might need to consider a call customer services to try and work-out a better deal now that the new TIVO box has landed!

Especially considering what other people have been offered.
(although my package is broke down into different add-ons and not one specific package.)

also will the installation charge mean that the engineer will run a direct Ethernet feed from the hub as advised by VM as being the preferred option but if he decides that is too difficult then i guess he will link up using an alternative method. WIFI more than likely being the easier of the three.

Just wondering as currently my Hub is not located directly next to my current TIVO box?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Virgin dont run ethernet cables, wifi will be used

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Thanks jb66
I just thought the engineer would do that considering Virgin actually advice to use a Direct feed before the other options.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

you may have had the lady i spoke with she rold me i would have to keep my tivo box so i could have my V6 installed which is not true

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Some existing customers are still waiting for the free upgrade.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

If i get one of these new boxes is there anyway to access the shows stored on my current Tivo box.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Yeah you can hook them up via ethernet or power line adapter

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Do you know if they will use the existing power leads for Superhub 3 (replacing S/h 1) and V6 replacing Tivo. I seem to remember when they swapped my V+s for Tivos, they used the V+ power leads.
The power sockets are a bit difficult to get to.


Thanks

Never met one that cannot get it immediately unless they have old cpe or a legacy discount code

The sh3 will need a completely new psu for your sh1, they will use the v+ Lead and add a PSU to the end of the cable for the v6
