Current Tivo Series 1 owners register for VM deal
 
Firstly, Happy New Year.

I Have sent various emails to the Mods of this site asking for permission to post this link but have not received anything back.. So we don't run out of time, I thought I'd post it and of course if the mods don't like it, they can remove the post.

I started talks with the launch team at VM a few weeks ago asking if we current Series 1 (S1) owners that have supported Tivo for the last 10 or so years in the UK could group together for a special deal. VM, in principle agree and have asked if I could give an indication of numbers. The only way I could think of to do this is to set up a secure registration site where current "registered" S1 owners can input their details. I will then close this site on the 14th Jan and send the information collated to my contact within VM.

So, Any current Tivo Series 1 owner in the UK that would like a special deal from VM for the new VM/Tivo.. please can you register your details here:

www.vmtivo-s1registration.co.uk

The site is secure with its own SSL certificate. The registration for is also 128bit encrypted and all data collated, once transferred to VM will be totally deleted.

We have got off to a very good start but really need more registrations.

Thanks to the mods for allowing this (anticipating you won't remove it)

Just to confirm, this is legitimate and has the blessing of Virgin Media.

From one of our VM contacts:
Quote:

Cindy Rose has engaged the series 1 owners to organise a special deal. The user's website has been reviewed by our compliance team and we are satisfied that its owner is taking all necessary precautions in regard to storing people's data safely.

According to the website the closing date is the 1st of Feb, not the 14th of Jan as stated in the OP.

Hi everyone.. you lot aren't going to be happy.. but trust me this is not my making.

I asked CF to post this link a few weeks ago.. but unfortunately it has taken quite some time for the wheels of industry to turn, in those weeks, we have had nearly 200 registrations from other forums..

The site will only remain open for another day.. CLOSES midday on Friday the 21st January, This is at a request from VM as they need the site closed by the 28th January and unfortunately, tomorrow is the only day I can do this for them.

so if you are going to register. PLEASE. register NOW....

I am glad I just noticed this thread. I'm looking forward to moving my V+ boxes to the new TiVo powered Virgin box, and am also a legacy series 1 TiVo owner. Thanks for trying to organise this. I will be registering today. :)

I've just registered too. Thanks again for doing this. I think you might also encourage me to go through the TiVo HDD and copy or delete all of the recordings I have remaining on it (some going back to 2002). :)

I see the site is now closed. I hope you got my registration! :)

Do I have to have my TiVo connected to the phone line, waiting for the messages as explained on the web site?

hi all, I missed this, but have a S1 tivo and am a VM customer, what do you think the chances are of me getting registered for the offer with Virgin now? I've sent them a tweet but don't know if I'll get anywhere, what do you think I should do :(

Talk to uktivo and ask nicely?

I expect it's down to whether his VM contacts will accept late entries or not.

Just noticed a message on my Tivo informing me of a great deal on upgrade at Virgin, no information on prices either on Tivo or Virgin's site but it looks as if the campaign was successful :)
