I got my email from VM yesterday, I'm getting TIVO box in April. They will contact me end of March about it.

Re: TiVo
 

I would email CEO but to be honest I've lost the will. It appears these tickets have gone to mostly people who haven't pre registered us mugs have to pay 149.

You and 18000 others LOL :-)

Re: TiVo
 

If you opted out of marketing with VM, you may not get a ticket.

Re: TiVo
 

It's popular then, surely VM have have a big batch of TIVO boxes to meet the demand.

Re: TiVo
 

The problem Is I pre-registered and am a VIP50 customer and yet I have no ticket and no e-mail. on top of this I received this e-mail a couple of days ago and I just don't where I stand;

Am I in the draw or aren't I, She states I am in it but if I don't get the ticket and therefore don't register, will I still be in it. I just don't understand.

Re: TiVo
 

getting away from the fact some are lucky and some arent ... a more serious question that no one can answer but opinions would be welcome ....

i notice on the raffle ticket T&C's it says one year free tivo sub and after the year you then pay the then sub price if you keep the service .... so.....

who thinks that along with sky increasing prices each year that VM/tivo may see this as a cash cow and start increasing the monthly sub year on year as they have made no comments on keeping the monthly sub at a low level

IMHO i do actually see this happening and although it wont be huge increases each year and may take a couple of years to start but the sub will go up and up year on year

Re: TiVo
 

So you think £3 amonth is a expensive price to pay for such a box.

Re: TiVo
 

i did not say that .. i was asking about the future .. whats to stop them increasing the price each year by even 25p a month ... makes them big money over a year .... this all assumption of course and i was trying to start a decussion on whether it could turn into a cash cow not unlike skys model of yearly increases

Edited addition ...

also i though the £3 sub was actually for the tivo service not just for VM :)

Re: TiVo
 

No real need considering the potential take up of this product.

Re: TiVo
 

is it possible that those that have registered an interest are automatically in the draw and don't need a ticket? - just a thought/hope

Re: TiVo
 

but business doesnt look at the real need for profit do they ... like sky they dont need to increase prices but they do anyway because the shareholders like to see bigger profits year on year

its all hypothetical i know .. was just interested in others opinions :)

Re: TiVo
 

It gets even worse for you - I've just heard a nasty rumour that Virgin have a theoretical maximum of 10 boxes per account and they got up to muppetman10 and.....well you can guess what happened! ;)

I'm sure your time will come. I didn't register (as wife not interested until third tuner is active) so your neighbour is one up on me.

Re: TiVo
 

Well they've had less than 1% of their TV customers pre reg so far.

To be honest mate after reading the Tivocommunity forum I may join your wife and hang fire LOL :D

Re: TiVo
 

This is very true, so if demand outstrips supply why are people who didn't pre-register getting in before those that did?

When we pre-registered it was stated in no uncertain terms we'd be "one of the first", yet people who didn't pre-register who therefore logically wouldn't be "one of the first" are getting it ahead of those that did.

Using supply and demand is an explanation for a throttled roll out, it's NOT an explanation for why VM seems to be ignoring who actually pre-registered and just rolling out to whoever they feel like.

Hi, how do i opt in for the marketing e-mails?
