However we poor VM suckers will pay £149 for something we don't own so can't get the pleasure of selling it, changing it every 12 months for extra cost or the please of waiting for repairs without rebate for loss of service like those lucky Sky customers.
We don't even get the chance to have to pay to see any non territorial channel HD.  I mean what am I supposed to do with that £10.25 a month?
I just can't understand it  |
I don't consider us poor VM suckers. The VM product and service is arguably far superior to Sky's offerings hence worth paying more.
HOWEVER, I've never, ever had a Sky salesman even come close to matching the VM equivalent package, never mind beat it, and then where's Sky's on demand service... And in the 9 years I've been with NTL/VM, I've had 2 boxes, and that's only because I moaned to CS that my silver box was so slow. Don't recall paying for either, so in all, excellent deal.
Sounds like you shouldn't get TiVo anyway. It's not a must have, as you can get at all the content through V+ menus anyway. If £150 is too much for 1TB storage and more intelligent EPG, don't get it.
Besides, wait a couple of years and the TiVo box will probably be next to free anyway as the old V+ boxes get retired.
