Thanks again

Here this is from a e-mail that i received a while ago:

It has been confirmed today, that if a VIP 50 customer who takes TiVo in their main room and wishes to keep their V+ box in their second room (returning the V HD) - they will incur no additional cost.

You will only be charged £10/month extra if you keep both your existing boxes after the TiVo box is installed i.e. you have 3 boxes (The TiVo, V+ and V HD)

Hope this helps?

I have three boxes already, two V+ and one V HD. If I replace the V HD with one of my V+ when I get a TiVo will I have to pay more per month!

I do not know that one, When I asked it was just about the VIP50 pack and not if you have 3 boxes already. Sorry I can not help with this one:(

Re: TiVo
 
Has it been answered what happens if someone currently has two V+ (on VIP 20) and replaces one of them with a Tivo? Would I actually be making a saving considering that the second box costs the £10 pm? i.e. going from £10pm for second box to £3 pm?

Good news!Yes you would not be charged the £10 extra. I had the same and my bill has gone down £10(I got tivo free)

That's a bit different though isn't it as effectively you've only got one box. The tivo one is free and the V+ one is part of your package. In this situation I guess it depends on whether they class the tivo as the primary or secondary box.

Great - I'm on VIP50 with 2 V+HD boxes, so if Tivo gives me a £7.00 credit,
(saving £10 add box - less £3 Tivo), then I'm definitely in!!

Perhaps Ben could confirm

I am on VIP50 with a Tivo, V+HD and activated VHD and pay (pre april changes) £106 a month. They are basically charging me an extra £5.60 for the VHD box, as well as the £3 extra for the Tivo box. I believe my bill goes up to £110ish after April.

I don't know the specific charges but thought my situation might help to decode the VM billing mysteries!

VIP 50 with 2 V+ and basic box. Would I be charged £7 less if Tivo replaced the basic box?

I had the same as you, 2 V+ and a basic box.

I now have 2 Tivos and 1 V+.

My monthly bill has gone down by £7.

I would take what he says with a pinch of salt.

Re: TiVo
 
Well I had my email last month saying I would be contacted late March on how I could order Tivo since had pre-registered last December. So only another 3 days maximum then otherwise it will be egg on the faces of VM and they will be getting a call this Friday if nothing is received! Comments have been posted here to say they are still due to issue these emails, so I do actually expect it to arrive; not long now.

However, I’ve heard it said you can book your install date. That could be interesting, as I can hear now “ the earliest date I can book an install is in July, shall I go ahead sir?!!!!” We’ll all be posting here to find out who has the earliest install. Hope VM has expanded the number of trained installation engineer for this launch!

Re: TiVo
 
The rollout is not being done area-by-area, though there may be restrictions from time to time due to staff and STB availability.

There are already plenty installed in the Wolverhampton area (and every other area)

edit: Hey, I've got a silver star :)
