As posted about 3 weeks ago on this thread I suspected Tivo was not a major sucess so far, and these figures prove it. 65,000 pre registers in April, plus a price slash at the beginning of this month and so far only 50,000 TiVo's have been installed. Got to remember there are people posting here and other forums who have 2 and even 3 TiVo boxes so it's not as if 50,000 unique customers have taken the service. Plus there was a couple of thousand customers who received TiVo free at the start too.
Poor, poor results. Maybe Virgin should refocus their attention to HD channels and other content. I suspect another price slash for TiVo will be coming soon! |
I thought another price slash for TiVo was on the cards however now they seem to be giving it away to new customers:

I'm looking forward to the tickle campaign next month. I'm sure long serving Virgin customers who don't currently have TiVo will be rewarded for their loyalty by receiving a free 500Gb TiVo box, with free installation, to show Virgin truely value them just as much as new customers. Heck now that Virgin can afford to give TiVo away, maybe existing customers will be paid to take TiVO
I'm now out of contract with Virgin. If I cancel my service today, how long would I need to wait to be able to return as a new customer to take advantage of the above offers?
