Is the TiVo charge now £3 per month on all TV packs?

Yes, it changed today along with the install charges as part of the official advertising launch :)

That explains it then. :)

VM really have done a good job on their site, and - finally - a mention that Tivo can record 3 at the same time.

But, someone needs to look at the comparison chart (vs Sky HD) because it doesn't display properly in Firefox 5.

The 1TB TiVo box is now £99.95 for 1st and subsequent boxes
The 500GB box is £49.95 for 1st and subsequent boxes
Free install for all customers
The monthly TiVo charge is now only £3 for all customers (so we’ll change the monthly charge for existing L and M+ customers from £8 to £3 with immediate effect

They are certainly upping the ante now there is no doubt with these offers that l will be getting another one and it will be interesting how these offers play to the wider audience now.

Do Virgin charge extra for a 2nd box? For £50 for the 500Gb box I'm tempted to get one for upstairs.
But then I see Tivo in the US are now talking about the 'slave' boxes which Virgin have mentioned in the past.

Tivo without a hard drive and it plays back what's stored on the main Tivo.

Think it would look something like the 2nd picture.

at £50 and no tivo fee for a second box there is no point brining out a slave box

My knowledge of History is more suited to studying British and Roman history.

Sounds like what VM are hoping to do with the VHD boxes. Maybe if it turns out that they're not capable of running the TiVo software properly then VM could release a version of the TiVo Preview box.
