This morning I had to have a visit from a Tech, as my old but faithful SA V+ box (with which I have been more than happy) finally gave up the ghost. He replaced it with a shiny new Samsung. Over the years, I have read a lot on these forums about how much quicker and more responsive the Samsung box was, compared to the SA. I admit to not really believing the hype and thought much of it was exaggeration. Well, I was wrong! The Sammy is just streets ahead of the SA, I am really impressed!
Anyway, to the point, I am on the VIP 50 package and have a second box in another room which is an old (it has NTL on the front!) Samsung ordinary box. When VM eventually get around to letting us have Tivo, would I be able to put that where my V+ is now, put the V+ where the old box is now and lose that box? After all I had to pay the install fee for the V+, so would like to think I will be able to keep it.
If I am able to do this, is it likely to be a higher monthly fee than just having a Tivo and a V box?
