Can I just say Well Done Virgin -

You've hit the nail on the head if this pricing is correct, for the first time in a long time this makes perfect business sense.

Both Virgin and Tivo need this to be a runaway success, this will be their flagship TV service and they need as many people as possible to upgrade to this.
Most current Virgin subscribers have already forked out between £50 and £200 to have their current boxes and if were asked to fork out another £200+, a great number of people would just stick with their current set-up. Especially in the current economic climate.

I fully agree that new customers should pay the same as we have in the past for their boxes.
Also on the back of this, the increase in revenue from most subscribers upgrading to the top tier packages to get this price gives another great boost to their numbers and revenue.

I am so excited by both the specs and pricing of Tivo I finally feel honoured to be an existing customer that will be looked after!

Thank You Virgin for listening!
