Hmmm £240 to downgrade to a two tuner box (at lauch at least) seems a bit ridiculous to me. Unless there's a VIP offer I don't think I'll be going anywhere near this until they bring the price down and make the box fully functional.

Odd that there are only 2 tuners at launch. Anyway.... SOLD! Names down.

Cannot survive without 3 tuners in my house, will wait until they upgrade before buying. I take it this is a software upgrade they are referring to not that the box has 1 less physical tuner, surely not!

First in depth look at the VM TiVo box:

does the £199 mean the box will belong to the customer?

I was almost bang on the button £189 for existing customers! It's the same as the v+, while the demand is through the roof it will keep the prices up and as demand falls so will the price.

The third tuner will be made active next year which is nice to know.

It's probably the usual VM pricing model: You buy it for VM and then rent it from them.

Not only have VM just got a sale but Apple have too!!

I think that unless people on the VIP package are given a hefty discount I will be taking the unusual step of waiting until all of the features are working & the price has come down to an affordable level before I throw my hat in to the ring.

I do think that VIP customers will be offered a better deal - VM did seem to take notice of how disgruntled VIP'ers were with the additional charges for Sky Premium HD.

I'll certainly wait until all three tuners are active before ordering, there are certain times of the week where three tuners comes in very handy.
