Will you now take Tivo on the new info ?

Given the info that DIGITAL FANATIC has given out I thought that I would start a new poll:

Here is the info that DF has posted:

some of you will get an email to book online and some will be directed to a special pre-sales orderline, this is because some of you have complicated billing arrangements! :)

Install is free in April, so you are getting that knocked off.

VIP's (50 & 100 only)are getting the TiVo monthly charge waived. It will appear on the bill, but you will get a bigger discount to cover.

now stop moaning!!!!! :cool: :D

There is also more deals around additonal outlets, but you'll need to speak to sales or see this in the ordering process online :)

Very likely now. That installation fee was a bit of a dampner.

Considering it (along with an upgrade to VIP50 which I have previously considered as I wanted to go up to 50MB and Sky Sports HD). The free install has brought me in from "not a chance" to "considering it".

Only thought now is the possibility of a cheaper, smaller TiVo. A 500GB box would be plenty for me, and if it was half the price of the 1TB it would be a lot easier to justify to the wallet :)

To wait or not to wait - that is the question!

You might find little difference in the price once the 'Baby' comes out with the Â£40 install fee on top.

That is true as who knows it may come up to Â£139 for the "Baby TIVO". E.G Â£99 for the box and Â£40 install ( just my thoughts ):erm:

But by then the other box will have the install fee too?

Yes meaning if you interested in TiVo in the short term now is the time to get it.

I was a series 1 owner back in the day, so I know what I'll be missing.

Re: Will you now take Tivo on the new info ?

TiVo offers me personally nothing I can see of importance or interest to make me pay Â£149.

So a No vote still and wait until they upgrade everyone to a free TiVo box in the future ... at least by then it may be a finished product and not a beta/unfinished product it is now.

Certainly wont pay extra without extra content ... just cant see any reasoning or logic in that when i can already do everything the TiVo does but with a little of my own elbow grease and an internet connection.

No point in super duper apps and WOW features if you dont have the content to back it up
