£3 TiVo charge
 

There is a thread on the Community Forum regarding the £3 monthly TiVo fee. Apparently it is due to change to £3 per box from the 1st November for any boxes ordered after that date. Current subscriptions will remain £3 per account.

Can anyone confirm if this is true? I did try and check out the VM Facebook page but couldn't find the relevant thread.

I thought this might be interesting if anyone was thinking of getting a box. If it is true of course!

Yes it is true

Thanks for the quick response Ben :)

Is this true for VIP50 too? I have two 1TB TiVo boxes at the moment, if I added a third after this date would it apply?

Wish they make up there mind on off on :-)

Re: £3 TiVo charge
 

Based on what I've been told so far, yes it applies to everyone for all TiVo boxes added after 1st November

Re: £3 TiVo charge
 

Hmmm, that might tempt me to add a third TiVo box then. We did have a VHD in the kids room but removed it because it was rarely watched but with recording we'd b able to record all their favourite shows. Hmmm, time to get thinking!

Thanks Ben, as always.

Just ordered my 2nd Tivo before the extra charge kicks in and got it for £49.95 with no activation fee.

Did you have to negotiate or was that the flat rate?

Re: £3 TiVo charge
 

The pricing is now per install not per the number of boxes you already have, so you always pay the lowest price available for the box you want

Re: £3 TiVo charge
 

2nd TiVo ordered to replace my TV Drive. £49.95 for install, multi-room discount maintained.

Let the streaming begin! :erm::)

Re: £3 TiVo charge
 

Yes l am looking forward to that.

Re: £3 TiVo charge
 

Currently we have one TiVo, one Vhd and one v+. If I wanted to update the two non TiVo boxes to tivos am I right that I would only pay 1 49.95 fee and no extra £3 per box? All as part of a VIP 50 deal.

Seems like it might be a good time to upgrade if so before the per box charge comes in if I've got this right.

Thanks in advance for any clarification anyone can provide.

Re: £3 TiVo charge
 

If you wanted two 500GB TiVo boxes you would pay £0 activation for one box and £49.95 for the second box

You would also have to pay £49.95 installation

If you ordered before 1st November your monthly fee would not increase

Thanks for the info - I'll have to see if I can convince my wife now! The fact that reminders are on the way to Tivo might help me win this one. I don't want to start of that argument again - I know some people regard them as pointless with Tivo, but I can guarantee that they will NEVER convionce my wife of that one!

Thanks again.

Just point out the wireless streaming then she can still watch her recorded programs elsewhere when you have a barney. :D
