Had our install today.

I had been contacted by phone a week or so ago where I was promised I could keep the V+ box and it moved to another room - no extra charge.

Installer arrived and said his job order was to replace the V+ box with a Tivo so he'd be deactivating the old one.

Give him his due he accepted what I'd said...spoke to his manager who said 'oh not another one!'.

He Teed another cable in for the bedroom, put the v+ box up there and said it will go dead but will fire up as he can't activate it has been deacttivated.

Took a couple of hours and the v+ box came back to life and I induced a couple of reboots.

Now have Tivo and V+

Looks like though the Tivo team are not talking to the install team though.
