That's what I was trying to work out, not sure how they will work that one out.
DF mentioned it slipping by a few days, that mag would have gone to print at least a couple of weeks ago so could very well be wrong.

Spot on :tu:

Re: TiVo
 

Agreed, that magazine is created in advance so events have changed after the content is frozen.

It could possibly be that pre-registered get an email with a link to the new web ordering page but that page is not publically announced for another week say, so we have 7 days to order in advance.

So the message here if that happens is to NOT publish the link on this BB so anybody can use it. That link is mine, all mine, ha ha ha!!! (yes I am going mad waiting since the 1st December!) :shocked::mad::D

You know some idiot will :(

Re: TiVo
 

My guess is they will be personalised links, no use to anyone else.

Thanks mate :)

Yeah, I think they will be too :)

Re: TiVo
 

That shouldb't be a problem as they should have a list of account numbers that pre-registered, so they should be able to prevent anyone ordering via that web link who isn't on the pre reg list.

Re: TiVo
 

I bet you someone does post a "link" after they've ordered :D

It will be useless though unless you are on the account list :)

Re: TiVo
 

So you can see everybody trying it the same as when they sent out the 1000 remotes:erm:

Hello Dean,

Now here’s something you don’t see everyday. You’ve got the chance to be one of the first to order our amazing 1TB TiVo® box before everyone else because you’re a Virgin Media customer and you pre-registered your interest in our TiVo service.

During the week beginning 11th April, we’ll be opening an exclusive pre-sale event just for you, so you can order Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo. We’ll email you the details on the day and you can be one of the first to get your hands on our latest kit before it goes on general sale.

Here’s the deal:
# 1TB TiVo box
# £149.95 one-off activation fee exclusively for existing customers (everyone else pays £199.95)
# £3 additional monthly fee with TV XL

Our exclusive pre-sale event for the 1TB box is only available to you. Think of it as a little ‘thank you’ from us for being a Virgin Media customer and for being one of the very first to register your interest in our TiVo service.

Just received my email: but they got my name wrong - i'm not Dean!
Not very impressed with the deal - looks like we're going to have to pay the £40 installation fee when others haven't?
