Cable Forum - View Single Post - TiVo Keeping V+Box with Tivo

Had mine installed Monday. I expected to lose the V+ box and keep my old Pace box that I've got up stairs. I was more than happy with this because I didn't want the bright green LEDs and the humming hard drive in my bedroom.

When the engineer come, he fitted the Tivo and took the V+ to the van. When he came back, he asked if I'd got another box, I said that I had, but I wanted to keep the one I'd got. Ok he said. 10 mins later he said that he would leave me with the V+ box in case there were any problems. So, I ended up with 3 boxes.

About an hour after he left, I checked the box up stairs and it had been de-activated! Thankfully, because he'd left the V+ box, it was simple enough to swap them over my self.

It's just odd how I wanted to keep my old box and send back the V+, and others are having difficulty keeping the V+ and sending back their old box!
