Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I wish I could afford TIVO but at £149 for activation is way beyond my current budget. I already pay Virginmedia in excess of £110 a month for TV XL V+ HD, Phone XL and Broadband XXL - even that seems expensive compared to some people I have read about on here.

I have been looking at Sky, even though I have been with cable for years - from what I seen on their website it worked out cheaper than Virginmedia, which surprised me plus I would get more HD channels and the box is free (to keep).

TIVO looked promising but they want to add a further £3 a month on top of what I am paying now, and a £149 activation fee!! Unless, Virginmedia start showing me a reason why I should be paying such a huge amount per month they will be losing me as a customer. Lately, we been suffering from too many network issues for my liking...

i thought it would be lol never mind !

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

If you are paying over £110 then you are likely one on the VIP bundles

Both VIP 50 and VIP 100 customers are having the £3 fee included in the bundle

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

All I would say is check your BB speed as you say your on XXL , Sky could offer you nowhere near them speeds.

You can programme my Yamaha to say what you want ;)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Sorry Hugh, didn't realise that was a banned term; I won't use it again.

I welcome input from Sky people to this cable thread, because there are some things Sky do better than VM and it's good to know about them.

But the input from Sky users should be ballanced and not, as is the case with some of the input, that Sky does everything as good or better than VM; this is clearly not the case and IMHO opinion shows bias to say that.

I should have found a more diplomatic way to express that.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

But do I not give both sides , see the post 2 above yours and many more. Some on here really hack you off and I don't mean you passingbat , ok so we've had banter but that's all it is.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Df or anyone else in the know is it possible have the £149 added to your next bill or does it have to be paid by credit debit card sorry if this already been answered not had time look through all of this thread. Thanks

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Aplogies if this has been posted but streaming shows via apps has been mentioned as possible through TIVO

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

It will go on to your bill, you don't have to pay by card.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Well, I guess that's one good thing. Yes, I am on the top VIP package with VM - but I noticed quite a few people on this forum pay less than I do per month.

I know BB with Sky would be a big difference in speeds, which is currently around 52Mb download - that is when I don't keep having to reboot the cable modem or call VM to find there's an outage in the area, yet again.

Perhaps I should give VM a ring and see if they will throw me in a free TIVO activation, well I can dream! lol ;)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Thanks for your quick reply DF really looking forward to getting a Tivo now at first I was not going to be able to but now should be able to :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Can you pay by card though? Say if you wanted to stick it on a credit card
