"No release date yet. Its £3 a month and there is a £40 install charge and £149 activation with it being a 1TB hard drive. PM"
So as good as £200 outlay to get started, i have to admit that i'm not prepared to pay such an amount after already paying out the same for a V+ box less than 12 months ago.
But before jumping over to sky i really would like to see confirmed pricing for us existing customers as i'm pretty sure the info posted on twitter could well be as reliable as the info given by customer services when you phone them (just pick a number and hope the customer is happy with it).
But until they announce when TiVo will be rolled out were not going to hear anything, and please don't claim roll out has started because that is simply not true as you cant roll out a product without releasing pricing information to the people you want to purchase it.
Yes some staff it appears do have the box up and running but at the end of the day your pretty much just beta testing it until their sure its good enough for us masses to get our hands on it.
Why can't virgin be straight with their customers and officially announce pricing instead of many people feeding us differing info?
If i end up leaving it will be a shame after all these years but i don't feel the need to show any loyalty to a company who are seemingly not prepared to do the same in return.

A pricing announcemnt is imminent, hang fire my friend.... The staff TiVos are also making sure the metadata is nice and mature, something you can't do with without a small rollout.
