Don't reply, because you're on my ignore list.


An remember this...If Sky removed there content from virgin would many miss it? EG-sky1, sky sports, sky movies...

But if virgin removed there content from sky who would miss...well....ermmm...NOTHING...

Virginmedias adverts actually mention Sky content...

Ohh ok..

I only really watch HBO shows on Sky Atlantic I guess watching them on Ondemand would be good.

Oh hold on I can via Skyplayer on my laptop or TV via my pc. Or direct on my tv via xbox.

Virgin customers need to stop being so defensive. Both platforms offer a great service.Also I live in Telford so when we had VM every time we wanted to watch Ondemand we got "sorry there is currently high demand" message so couldnt use it.

Why are Sky fanboys in a virgin media TV section trying to sell us cheaper TV?

Can we get a mod to clear it up and get it back on topic :p:

The TIVO £3 fee.
 
Is the Tivo £3 fee per BOX or per ACCOUNT?

Every successful forum runs on opposing views.

Every good games forum has PS3 v XBOX, every good car forums has FORD v VauXHALL .

Take this away you have a lot of FORD IS BEST or VIRGIN IS BEST threads and it all gets very boring very quickly.

Let's get back on topic, which for those with long-term memory issues, is the £3 charge for TiVo on all VM TV packs.

I personally think the £3 charge is ok if the service Tivo provides is good. I have VM 50Mb INTERNET and MAY! get 1 tv box but I'm not paying 1 single penny for it.

So once Tivo is free I will get 1 box,try and if its poop I will dump it.

Looks like you won't have a TIVO then , do you think VM should offer it for free ? Don't forget its new kit and new kit always costs. I think 49.95 and 99.95 are lower than I ever thought so early in its life.

2 weeks ago Tivo cost £149+£49 install, this week its £99+free install.

In September I expect the 500gb to be free with free install if your new customer or if you upgrade. I may consider it then......................

Lets be honest..........I never have Tivo will i????/I love Sky to much lol.:) ALSO...No one upgrades there TV service in summer, the footballs finished and its sunny pub and BBQ TIME.

I may very well do that and keep my Sky as well. My parents are going to order one so i'll have a good mess around then.

Why are people getting upset about the pricing? To be it still looks exactly the same just that they have changed what they charged for?

1TB Tivo was £149 and free install
1TB Tivo is now £99 plus £49 activation fee

Even if it was £50 cheaper I would have no issue, normally it would annoy the hell out of me, but I have enjoyed my Tivo so much that paying £50 extra to have it a bit early was a small price.

I hope Virgin drop this stupid activation fee or do they really think people are so stupid that they can say "but its a free install"?

What services do you currently take with Virgin.

XL tv, phone and broadband (20meg) with a extra VHD box. I'm currently on a loyalty discount (that I didn't ask for) that gives me the package for about £3 less than the advertised price.

20meg does me just fine as I don't play games online and don't download much.

As far as l know to get a Tivo at the new advertised price you do not need to upgrade up to another service and all you pay is the activation fee and the £3 monthly fee.
