How are you able to order Tivo online without an email?

No it has a external power source the same as the V-HD so there is no noise from the box ( although i stand to be corrected )

There are a lot ordering without receiving the email. It is discussed on other forums and the 0800 number is freely available there too.

I'm not going to post it here or link as, correct me if i'm wrong, the details aren't supposed to be generally available.

A little googling may find it though.

YES! This is great news for me. The tiny fan in the V+ sammy is only thing that annoys me about it. Even in standby it comes on for long periods.

Looking forward to getting TIVO even more now!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 
any current TIVO users out there who can confirm the noise levels from the box while on vs in standby?

Will be really useful info for me.

Got another on the 16th of Feb saying 'TV magic is only weeks away'

Then the last one I got was a 'Sorry your not one of the lucky ones' on the 18th March.

I'm an XL TV, XL BB & L Phone customer??

Same as me except I have XL phone and L BB. See my post on page 77

Just booked mine for 23rd April. When they call will explain to them i want to keep the V+ box and move it into second room and they can have the V Box back....

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 
I've had the e-mail but now think that the 500gb Tivo would suffice my needs, would there be another e-mail to remind us that it's being released or is it just a free for all on the 16th of May?
