TV XL
 
Just ordered TV XL to go with my phone/broadband. Is the TiVo box standard issue or is it extra? If it's not standard, what will I get instead?

Thanks.

Non-recording V HD is the 'standard' box. TiVo is £5 per month more.

VM also supply the non recordable box to the premier and VIP packages for the additional box you only get TiVo as a second box if you pay an extra £11.50 pm

when did they scrap the V+HD box

I am using the V+HD box it seems unfair that I can record but new customers not on TiVo can't.

if I was a new customer I don't think I would bother with the tv side.

So you pay for a Tivo.

There are the same two options now as there were when you joined - a non-recording and a recording box.

In reference to post#4, it would only be an extra £5 if the requirement is for two TiVos in VIP instead of one TiVo and one V HD.

Really for the VIP pack they should supply a v+HD box as the second box lets face it people pay enough as it is for the VIP pack (£113.99 pm I think it is)

no as we took the xl tv package we got the V+ as standard.

so let me get this right if my V+ box broke down what would they replace it with.

1) a VHD non recording box

2) a V+HD if theres any left

3) a Tivo box (though I would refuse to pay extra for it)

VM clarity in Billing strikes again....

If you choose premier collection you get a TiVo and a VHD. The package already includes £6.50/month for the VHD therefore upgrading this to a TiVo costs £5 more.

I have just checked the site and the price does indeed go up £5 if you change your second box to a TiVo from a VHD

Clear as mud

I've had phone/broadband for a few years now and I am out of the contract period. Does signing up for the TV automatically put my phone/bb back into a new 12 month contract along with the TV??
