The special deal for existing customers is that you get it two months earlier than new customers

Two questions are how much will new customers will have to pay and if someone has already got a tivo does he or she have to pay another 3.00.

New customers will pay exactly the same as existing customers for the 500GB box. The reduction for existing customers is for the 1GB box.

The TiVo fee is charged once per account, however you would pay the standard additional box rental of £6.50 if that's what it is

The £3 charge is per account, not per box.

Unless you're one of those people who've been given multiroom free when having the first Tivo installed?

From what i have read it is £3 per account and not £3 per box. They will need to to pay the £49.95 + £40 install as well? I stand to be corrected?

Very. Good on VM for doing it that way, and not doing the Sky HD charging method.

Even better when you consider you end up with a 10Mbit connection per TiVo box as well

Agree that HD charge per box is a complete rip off , I think with Sky as well if you have a Sky+HD box as your multi room box you have to pay 10.00 and 10.25 HD charge , thank god I only have one box LOL :D
