Hi All!
First post so be gentle!
I'm a Sky+HD subscriber with 2 x HD boxes (no HD Subscription) Multiroom, O2 broadband (8mb and get 7mb constatly) and BT Line.
I'm planniing on a wholesale move to Virgin (was an NTL BB customer years ago and loved it) and I am looking at their Sky Switcher deal. The deal is as follows:
TV XL
BB XL
1 x 500mb Tivo (£49.95)
Free V HD
no £6.50 ever for second box
This will currently work out about the same as my Sky package but with a Tivo & 30MB BB
I can also cahnge the deal:
TV XL
BB XL
1 x 1TB Tivo (£99.80)
1 x 500mb Tivo (£49.95)
Lose the free V HD box
Plus £6.50 for second box
Is there any point going for 2 x Tivos?
Does VM act like my existing multiroom? i.e will I get 6 tuners available to me?
What will the cabling be like? I want my BB router in my office, Tivo in living room and extra box (whichever version) in my bedroom - will they install 3 external/internal cables?
If I went for a V HD box can I later swap a Tivo in and use the same cable? In this case I imagine I lose the free £6.50 second box offer when it becomes a non V HD box?
Has anyone ever managed to get Quidco with the switch from Sky deal? If so that makes the 2 Tivo box look better (depending on if they act like 2 tivos with 6 tuners between them)
Anything else I should be considering/worried about (other than Tivo glitches)?
Many thanks, Tony
