Are they still offering the free multiroom on moving an existing V+ box to another room, we had a leaflet through about it a month ago but that was when you had to pay for installation as well as activation?

Have decided to change one of the 2 V+ boxes to Tivo and then move that V+ box to another room. But only if I only have to pay the existing multiroom charge + £3 tivo a month and not an additional multiroom charge as well.

Well I just upgraded, very confused now. They said I couldn't move an existing v+ box to another room without paying another £6.50 a month as well as the Tivo charge.

What they did though was swap one of our existing V+ boxes (we have 2) with Tivo and drop the £6.50 a month multiroom charge. I didn't think they were able to do that, but happy with that as long as it has been put through correctly.

Im getting a standard box changed to a tivo500 and an extra tivo500 for the bedroom plus my v+ is being relocated to another room and they are not charging me an extra 6.50 a month just the standard £3.

I have an old V+ box (SA) and had the leaflet to relocate for free. I ordered TiVo today, but they advised that although the engineer would relocate for free, they were now going to charge £6.50 for the V+ as the "free" offer expired last month :-(

So calling 150 instead of 0845...? I'd be annoyed if I missed out on a saving of that much per month.

Ah ok. For all the good that Virgin CS are normally, the communication between themselves is terrible when promotions are on.

Im getting 2 tivo 500gb boxes for just short of £100 one off fee and £3 extra per month for the 2 boxes. Apparently it should be £149 one of fee for a second box and an extra £3 per tivo box per month. Im also getting to keep my v+ box.

So all in all my monthly charge has gone up by only £3.

Pretty sure you will also have £6.50 month 2nd box fee to pay as well
