Got my ticket and have just registered. They say they will be in touch before 20th March - if I win (some hope).

Re: TiVo
 
Got my ticket. Here's the small print on the back for anyone who's interested.

"Like your current Virgin Media box, your TiVo box remains the property of Virgin Media. New 12-month minimum term contract applies. You must remain at least an XL TV customer for the duration of your new 12-month minimum term. At the end of the 12-month minimum term: (a) if you wish to keep your TiVo service, you will be charged the then applicable TiVo fee: (b) if you do not wish to keep your TiVo service, certain functionality on your TiVo box will be disabled; (c) if you cease to be an XL TV customer, V+ HD monthly fee may also apply on top of your TiVo monthly fee. All other services you take remain chargeable; only the monthly TiVo fee is waived. One TiVo box per account. Other Legal Stuff applies. See registration page."

Re: TiVo
 
Ok, Question people, please help.

I have that little letter with the ticket on the front.

Should I register? - I have £200 or whatever incase but will I get it free or is the 1000 picked at random. Cant see me having much chance.

What benefits do you get if you enter the URN number on the letter?

PLUS: Is it too late to enter now, I presume the 1000 will have gone by now? And if I register and dont get picked will they still have me registered for one that I will have to pay for?

The video on the website suggests if you are one of the lucky 1000 selected you'll receive TiVo on Virgin for 1 year. I'll assume that means free box and instillation plus no monthly rentals. I certainly see no harm in registering, at least that way you've got a chance.

I would register, also if you win one you will get a complimentary TIVO box and not have to pay the £3 per month for 12 months.

Also I don't think you are too late, Virgin will pick 1000 winners from those who enter before the 20th March, I think.

This is to register for the draw not to book one ;)

What BIG-TED has said it is for the draw and not to book one. As i posted earlier in the thread:

As you may have read already, We'll soon be offering all our VIP 50, VIP 20 and XL TV customers (who also have Virgin Media Broadband and Phone) the chance to become one of 1000 lucky customers to win a special TiVo deal. You will receive information about this prize draw over the coming weeks , giving you the chance to win a complimentary TiVo box.

The first prize draw was also a random selection from a list of our VIP customers. As you can imagine, we can not give a complimentary box to our whole base, so a prize draw is the fairest way we can approach this.


We are also continuing to prioritise our existing customers to make sure they are the first people in the country to get a hold of this fantastic new service.
