Re: TiVo
 
This is really annoying. I honestly feel that VM had a potential game changer on their hands here.

I remember before the iPad was announced people were saying it would be priced somewhere between £800 & £1000. When did announce the price of £429 everybody was pleasantly surprised. Fast forward 8 months and they'd sold 15 million units!!

Would they have sold even half that if it was released with a price with-in peoples expectations (£800+)? I very much doubt it.

The moral of this story is if you want your product to fly off the shelf & people to talk about it, then for the love of god make sure that it's for the right reasons ala Apple.

I am also on VIP50 with two V+ boxes that i had to pay for plus installation costs.
I am very dissapointed with having to pay another installation cost , i expected there to be a special VIP offer of free install but nothing has been heard. As usual the VIP package started out as a good deal a couple of years ago but this is another kick in the teeth for VIP customers.
So i will stick with my V+ boxes for the time being.
I want to write an email to Neil Berkett (or should that be DEAN Berkett) but cant find his email address , does anyone have it please?

You should have sent it TO Dean that would have been hilarious. In all my days I've never seen such an amateur operation.

Check the right names on your contract when you get it , if you bother signing up.

I can just picture a young inexperienced temp was dragged in to do the letters on mailmerge, maybe he was called Dean!

They are certainly in the Ratner school of marketing.

Worse things could happen I suppose, it's still funny though.:)

I waI was gobsmacked when I saw the extra £40 at the bottom, almost there as a throw away line.

No way am I paying that - I hope us VIP's will be receiving a better offer as this is taking the ****.
