Im in Hove BN3, and have managed to finally book an install. It is booked for Wednesday 7th Feb.

Can't Wait. I have been a loyal Tivo customer for years, but really like the idea of the 3 tuners!

Just spoke to CS. They told me they are taking orders form 20th Feb in my postcode area (PO6) and the boxes will be available from the 28th Feb. Strange that, cos when I called them a couple of weeks ago they told me Jan 30th. I don't have any faith in the information they are giving over the phone. I think I will wait till I get a letter.

He suspects that this is an adminstration error rather than a tech fault and has promised to ring me later.

Jim.

Tried the V + options an hour ago, all now working, engineer phoned back as promised just after I had discovered it was now OK.:tu: :cool: :)

I`m in BD11 and just called the V+ team, i was told to phone back on the 8th Feb as bookings can be taken then, so fingers crossed again!

Hey Dranny,

You should not trust them, I have called them 3 days ago, they told me the same thing (only available on the 8th, call us on the 8th then we will book an installation appointement). So I called back yesterday evening to make sure and the guy gave me an appointement straight away. They are coming on the 23rd.
Bottom line, better call many times to be sure as you never got the same information from one to another.

I had the same problem, i was told either that it wasnt available, to being told it was only available up north.

I was told so many times either it was or wasnt available, that i just kept ringing daily, thankfully someone on here, im sorry i forgot there userid, said it was available from the 30th, and it was!

So just keep ringing, it doesnt cost anything, apart from the time it takes them to answer.

That's the way to do it, agreed. It still cost the standard local rate isn't it?

So did you get it installed Mbynwa? if yes, can you tell us what you think?
Thanks in advance.

bOf,

My install is still booked for 7th Feb, when apparantly the cable modem will be fitted. One it has been installed i will post a review up!

Isnt it free to call from an ntl phone though? I just dialled 150, its 0845 for non ntl phone lines.
