Way off the mark, it's a heck of a lot more than that.

l think people are underestimating how many Tivo's have been sold and on top of that they are underestimating the quality of the box as well.

True, the new price structure for the 500GB TiVo is temping, but the £3 charge for TiVo does annoy me (I am not a mean person, just another £3 out of the household budget) even if it is only per account not per box. If they made it free to XL customers I would sign up tomorrow!

Sorry that is how I feel:erm:

It has no extra monthly fee on VIP 50 & 100. XL is already good value. :)

the £3 goes direct to Tivo (not VM) for supplying the service so i cant see that changing - ever!

Hi, a bit of advice needed here,

Currently i have the following,

BB L
TV L
Phone L
Sky Sports collection
Caller Display

Would i be right in thinking it would £71.45 per month for an Existing customer if i was to add the 500GB TiVo box? Or do Existing customers get any offers?

Does anyone care to answer my question? A second opinion is needed as the VM pricing system confuses me, also i understand you get 3 months half price if you upgrade your tv package.

Wait so XL & VIP still have the £5 for the V+HD charge whereas M+ & L don't and are just charged £3?

Surely everyone on XL and VIP moving to TiVo should be charged £2 less?

No I think DF means you don't pay the TIVO 3.00 charge on VIP 50 and 100.

I got that but that still means XL and VIP 20/30 are overpaying by £2 should they move to TiVo.

Xl don't pay £5 v+ charge. VIP pay a charge for a second v+ so in that instance it's £2 cheaper to get a TiVo if on vip20/30 and £5 cheaper if on vip50.

Basically if your on VIP get a TiVo and go vip50. It's much better value

Sorry, just checked my bill and it says;

Quote:

V+HD Monthly Fee £0.00
So it must have been dropped since I last had a proper look.
