Just received a Tivo Oneofthefirst flyers?
 
Its says as I am one of their top customers so how who else got one and what are my chances of getting a free Tivo for a year:cool:

Would be good but im sure there have been hundred of thousands of these issued!

A colleague received one of those. He said it has one of those supermarket queue ticket numbers on it and tells him he's first in the queue.

I told him he's joint 1st in the queue with however many others have been sent out, behind the 50,000 speedy boarders who've pre-registered :)

Sorry to spoil your good mood, lol. Every customer with XL TV and also phone and broadband has been sent one ;)

There is mention of it in the TiVo thread.

I read in 1 of the other threads (but can't find it now) that if you logon to My VirginMedia you can see if you are setup for promotional contact or whatever.

Can someone tell me exactly where please as I can't find it.

Got home to a Virgin envelope and thought yes the raffle thing. However I was wrong and it's my new contract due to upgrading from VIP20 to VIP50 and them putting on a £20 charge even though it was free! :mad:

So no raffle ticket yet and want to check if I would get it depending on my preferences. :erm:

It's under "My contact details", then set your "Preferred email address"
this will ensure you get VM marketing emails.

It says if you are one of the thousand, you can have free TIVO for a year. If you don't want to pay after the free year is over, can you revert back to a V+ Box without charge?

If you flip the card over, under the terms and conditions it says: (b) If you do not wish to keep your TiVo service, certain functionality on your TiVo box will be disabled.

So it's got to be a win as anything has got to be better than the Scientific-Atlanta V+ box.

PS: Clearly I got one of these be the first flyers as well. Makes a changed from them trying to flog me a mobile phone!

That's good then, so sounds like you get to keep the box with it's bigger hard drive even if you don't want to pay the TIVO charge.

You would have to continue to pay some sort of subscription as otherwise as with the V+ you would lose the recording capability.

I think he means the extra £3pm TIVO charge
