So that is the date for everybody. Those that have pre-registered are meant to be able to order first ahead of anybody contacting that number of the 4th. I feel a VM c*ckup coming on!

So, if any XL customer can order from the 4th, Pre-regs should be contacted earlier as we were told we would be one of the first to get it. If we have to wait until until the 4th, we will just be one of the general XL cue.

As l said a shambolic chaos from the 1st of December to now and still going on now and probably for much longer, we were supposed to have prioroty as existing customers and yet its seems we won,t have prioroty over new customers'
One word shocking.

We don't know that for sure yet. There is still time for an email with ordering instructions to arrive before the 4th April. It appears that we will be ordering with all XL customers, but VM may have a way of srill getting TIVO to Pre Regs first, that we aren't aware of.

If it does go on general release on the 4th I would imagine that pre reg customers would be given install dates ahead of new orders.

I hope that is the case; it's a question of how it would work in practice. If any XL customer can ring up on the 4th April, presumably, the CS rep will look at avaolable install dates and book it? Unless they leave X number of install dates free for pre regs, but as they don't know how many pre regs will want a tivo, that would be hard to estimate and would lead to a very inefficient way of booking installs.

Surely, the promised email before the 4th to pre regs to order online is the best way?

The other possible thing is that the 4th, published in the magazine is not the correct date as it has been suggested that tivo as slipped back a little?

It's patently obvious that this box, despite extensive beta testing, is not Market ready.:omg:
