Cable Forum

i hadnt seen the previous post at the point of my posting :p:

and i have not had the letter so was in the dark :shocked:

seems a fair offer but the way im reading the situation based on limited info available here ... looks like the calls to customers have slowed if not stopped and there will be another wave after March 20th for the raffle winners

does the raffle include all those who have already got tivo booked & paid for or is it for those not yet contacted ... either way could be seen as unfair by one group or the other :dozey:

BREAKING NEWS

VM have spent 3.2 million pounds trawling the forums and interweb to find out which subscribers are the biggest trouble makers / complainers.

They have used the same group (Anonymous) who haked Mastercard etc to obtain info that will lead to identifying who we are....:shocked:

The plan is to knobble VOD and BB at awkward times and slow rollout to these "agent provocators" as a form of punishment.....

A VM spokeman when asked if the money could have been better spent on free TiVo's for their best customers replied "Yes I suppose so but this is so much more fun"

Thats it I am now in full Toy / Pram / tossing mode :2up:

I'm 6 months in and having Tivo installed tomorrow but my new contract states 12 months under ALL the services!!!!!

Cheers

Well, to be honest I'm not sure. I've been a customer since the Cable & Wireless days, and over the years I've upgraded my package quite a few times and can't remember when the last time was.
Realistically it makes no difference to me as I am happy with the service (especially as they are giving me a TiVo for free for life:)), and have no intention of leaving unless something changes drastically!
Having my TiVo installed tomorrow as well, hope he/she comes to me first.:D

Thanks Stuart, sorry new to this site.. just getting used to it :)

So sounds as if the odds of getting a prize in this raffle are quite slim, anyone want to guess the odds? ;)

Should or should not ?

I beileve S1 owners have recieved a message from TiVo?

Yes message was downloaded to the box stating service will end June 1st.
Loads of people have contacted Tivo saying please change your mind or tell us how we can receive EPG data some other way etc.

All they have replied with is move to Virgin and you will be happy again. Lots of people not in cabelled areas or not wanting XL TV etc.
They have upset quite a lot of very loyal long standing customers it seems.

There was the option to purchase a lifetime sub for Â£200 rather than the Â£10 a month also. I have the lifetime sub but basically in the T&C's it can be ended within 30 days of notice from Tivo.

I've had it for 9 years so had my money's worth but does seem a shame to end their service just because they are now tied in with Virgin.

I suppose TiVo could have stopped the service a good few years ago now after their ill-fated relationship with Sky.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 19:27.
