Yes but what VM actually said in February was:
"We’ll be in touch around the end of March to let you know how you can get the TiVo service before it goes on general sale. For now, you can sit back, relax and wait for all the good stuff to come to you."
IF the general launch is REALLY 4th April (was this confirmed by VM, or just another rumour?), then there must presumably be some way of giving preference within the normal ordering process. It would be grossly unfair to expect 50,000 people to put in their orders in just the 2 or 3 days between now and the 4th, even if VM's systems could cope - what if you are on holiday, system down, don't have access to email, etc etc?
Personally I think that the whole thing has slipped, and the email if we get one will just be another 'holding' exercise.
