You're very lucky - I'm having a terrible time and it seems I'm going to have to wait three weeks.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

DF/Ben, I received this today-

Great news!

We're delighted that you've decided to join the TV revolution by upgrading your TV to the next-generation Virgin Media TV, powered by TiVo. Your TiVo activation fee and new monthly charges will appear on your next bill.



We'll be in touch again soon to confirm everything in a letter, but in the meantime, and if you need any help along the way, give us a call on 0845 454 1111 or for free on 150 from your Virgin Media phone.



So what happens next?
We're sending one of our technicians round on <date> between <time slot> to install your TiVo box. It should only take about two hours to get all the equipment up and running.



By taking a TiVo box, a new 12-month contract applies to your TV service (we’ll send it out in the post).



If you decide to change your mind within the first seven working days from the day after you sign up, simply fill in and return the 'Right to Cancel' form tucked away with your letter coming in the post and you can return to the way things were before (unless the service has been installed).



Your new TiVo service is covered by our 28-day money back guarantee, so it you're not entirely satisfied with it, just give us a call. Not that we think you'll want to, of course.



We hope you'll carry on enjoying all the benefits of being a Virgin Media customer and we can't wait to look after you again this year.



Kind regards,



The Virgin Media Team

Notice no actual date or time, is this a mistake? thanks.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

relocation would be free, so long as it's on the workorder. yes a monthly charge would apply.

I have to log off now, so I've asked other staffers to help if they can, especially around the order emails. :tu:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

DF, are emails still being sent out?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I was offered Wednesday the 27th April 8am - 1pm which was not either of my choices. Rang up have now got Tuesday the 19th April 1pm - 6pm. Which is earlier than any slots offered on the online ordering system.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I should hope so as another who has not heard anything bar one email from pre reg in December 1st:tired::tired:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

You're lucky getting three weeks. I've just been told 12th May. That's a month!!! :( :( :(

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Just had my confirmation email, having ordered online on Tuesday.

As we needed to keep the Easter/Bank Holiday period completely clear, I had requested 9 May install date. (After all it's only a TV box, what's another couple of weeks - some people do have a life!). Also the immediate panic and rush might have died down, and the techs hopefully got more experienced at doing the installs, but we still avoid the £40 install fee.

Annoyingly, the date of the install came back as 30 April, which we definitely can't do. What is the point of giving customers a date EARLIER than the one they requested?

(Have subsequently telephoned in and changed to 10th May. Apparently if your requested date is not available, the system automatically schedules in the first available 'free' slot).

Also then mysteriously received an email (in my spam folder) from 'Virgin Media Entertainment' saying "You're in! Your new premium TV channels are on their way" - what is that all about, we already have the Sky Sports / Movies HD selection, and nothing has been changed?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Hi Gunslinger. What time on Tuesday did you order?

Thanks.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

My date for install is next week on the 20th of April so l must have been quite lucky with date.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I guess Brighton's really into TiVo, lol. Can't believe I've got to wait another month. Was all set to have it next week!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I am guessing that most VIP people got the phone number to call, probably to discuss box swaps etc and everybody else got the Online booking form.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

This is a looooong thread. Is there anyone able to summarise the main pints of what has been discussed to save others having to read through the whole thread? And possibly make a sticky post?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

My install in on the 19th april between 1pm-6pm.:)
