That's not exactly true! My mattress has been rolled over by a big machine a million times before it arrived in the shop, simulating life usage by a human!

Just kidding - high spirited as we're now super close to getting TiVo!!!!!!! :D

That's saying there's enough to go around , I remember when Sky launched SkyHD I got the call saying there weren't enough boxes .

Obviously they are strategically planning for this (pre-registrations, existing customers first, new customers later) so am sure things will be just fine.

As far as I'm aware both existing customers and those on "mates rates" will pay £189 (£149 for box, £40 for activation) and then a monthly fee of £3 a month.

Is it true you have to have triple XL or VIP for initial roll out ? I only have L phone and really don't need calls all day.

Thought it was just XL TV as the criteria for first orders not triple unless that determines the who is first in the queue for customers, so are triple XL customers the first batch for orders before XL TV customers? We will soon know from the sound of things.

Seems a bit unfair that if true.

I am very concerned for muppetman11's well being. Might I suggest that he takes a little lie down in a darkened room and think about small furry animals and soft mountain streams.

Too much excitement can be harmful.:gpoint:

XL TV package is a pre-requisite for TiVo. The order in which existing customer orders will be dealt with however, has yet to be confirmed.

I am :) and am thrilled to bits that Virgin Media will be providing this service. I've never known anything like it since I had the S1 TiVo. I'm reading and waiting to be provided with order details!!!!!

Yes, XL TV is the minimum, So VIP's are in there as well.
