Seems a bit of a cheek to me to asking for £149 for an product still in development.

You can argue if you like but having seen the list of things yet to be implemented to say this box still isn't in beta is a joke. It's not even at release candidate stage for the people who have it. The beta team appear to be more like alpha testers.
There will also have been an alpha testing team before a beta testing team.

The TiVo works great, yes there are a few things to be added but there is nothing wrong with the way it works just now at all.

AFAIK the letters about the draw went out to all triple XL customers.

Pre registered customers will have been sent an email that they will be contacted soon.
