Exact same story for me, but maybe a touch earlier than prayforsnow?

Phoned at 17:40 today whilst I walked home from work and they took my order with no problems (after 30secs on hold while they checked if they could take a Tivo order yet). On the phone for 8 mins, then they called me 10mins later to give me an install date (May 4th) and take my £199.95 by Visa. That took another 4mins. Less than 25min in total.

Just as prayforsnow said:
£199.95 charge for Tivo (which had to be payed up front)
No installation fee.
18 month contract.
Only other requirement for Tivo was that I had to take TV XL (which I was doing anyway).

Hurrah!

I think I might call back to make sure the installers aren't going to have any issues, though. My house is on a terrace that is at right angles to the street and although I can definitely see that my neighbour (who is nearer the street, and the main CATV access/inspection hatch and green box) has had cable installed at some point, our house doesn't seem to have. There aren't any of the little access hatches, either.

How do they normally run the cable to the house itself?
