What type of products?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Fruit machines

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Very different tech from TiVo though... I bet you still have problems with some products. Nothing is 100% problem free.

Thanks Ben. That sounds like a good reason to me :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I am very interested in upgrading my V+HD box to a 1TB Tivo box and as far as I know installation and activation is free to existing customers, but I would have to pay a charge of £3 every month. So, could someone let me know if I am mistaken or not?

Thanks

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Sorry that's incorrect

A 1TB box is £49.95 activation for all customers

For existing customers a £49.95 installation applies as well

It's the 500GB TiVo that is £0 activation for everyone

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Thanks for that I must have been mistaken. So, do you also get free installation with the 500GB Tivo box and you only have to pay £3 per month or do you have to pay a installation charge regardless?

Thanks

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

All existing customers at present have to pay an install for for both TiVo boxes

So the total install cost for the 500GB TiVo is £49.95 and it's £99.90 for the 1TB box

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Thanks for your help. ;)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Why did they bother changing from that being the cost of the box with free installation? Are they avoiding tax or something?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

If I had to guess? It's more that people accept that things cost to get installed, but didn't understand why it cost £100 for the 1TB activation

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Just had a virgin rep put a card with contact no.it says free Tivo. is this a genuine offer

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

The 500gb TiVo is free anyway but a £50 installation fee applies. Maybe the rep could waiver that fee depending on which services you take out. :)

Rang the rep he said the free Tivo was only for new customers if I was interested to ring virgin but the 500 stb was free

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Are you talking about Tivo? The tivo I got in April was not half baked but offered functionality far above the V plus box. The only people fooled were those who listened to the whingers who misrepresented tivo and focused on a few minor niggles and blew them up out of all proportion.

It did not take much research to discover that red button would not be on the initial release, if that was important to someone.
