Personally i think people shout about bad service, but they also remember good service, they just don't make a fuss about it.

If i go into a restaurant i don't rejoice when the waiter doesn't throw my food down my back. I just expect him not to do that.

Define good service. Some people expect 5 star service but only pay for 1.

(I'm taking in general not about VM)

It is of no use to me if I no longer subscribe which will be the same with the TiVo so I do not really care about it not being mine as I prefer free technical support without threatening to leave.

I did have my own free SKY box which went in the bin once I was no longer a subscriber.

Could of got a tenner for it on ebay.

But dont worry when you go back to sky they will give you a free box. If you leave VM and return you'll have to pay another £189 for tivo

No idea as it is not on general release and I am a technical support agent, plus that is probably business sensitive information at this time.

Best quote ever (cant remember who posted it)

Virginmedia have to do the decorating themselves....Sky can afford to get proffessional decorators in.

Plus you're quite free to upgrade the HDD on you free Sky+HD box to 1TB or even 2TB if you so wish ..as it's your equipment.
Virginmedia get a bit arsey if you ask to do it to one of their V+ boxes.

I'm actually bback with sky now and I was offered the 1TB for £149 or the normal Sky+hd box free. I can use my old HD box for multiroom which I've put a 1TB drive in myself.

Thank you for recognising your initial post was incorrect - that the equivalent (or slightly less functional) Sky box is not free.

I said sky give you a free box thats all. But you are quite correct that VM charge upto £189 for the tivo with a £40 install although you can get it for £149 with free install .

Sky charge £249 for a 1.5TB box with £29 install although you can get it for £149 with free install.

Although you have to take sky minimum package at £19 a month for full use and you only get anytime+ ther eondemand service if you're on skyBB. For the tivo features you need the highest tv package plus an extra £3 a month with VM.

I have actually asked for this thread to be deleted ,this was yesterday...I got my anti VM rant deleted from Digitalspy straight away once I got sorted. WWhy isnt this deleted it serves no purpose now?
