I have recently inceased my services with Mates Rates which I understand is a discount on the Triple XL package (plus Int and mobile pack, which I didn't need but is apparently compulsory - unless someone knows that you could remove these without losing the Mates Rates discount?). The price is £38.01 including V+ and extra VHD. If you keep V+ (move to another room) and get a TiVo, does this add £3 and remove the multiroom charge (£6.50), or just add another £3 on top? If just adding another £3 on, could you keep all three boxes for the same price? I asked about just changing to 2xTivo before install but they said it woud be another £6 (£3 Tivo charge per box) which didn't sound right so didn't proceed.

I am asking here as people keep reporting adding Tivo brings the price of their multiroom down by £3.50 so thought you may know as it seems from above people are getting different answers to the same question (yes, I know I can get hold of the person who put you on Mates rates, who can contact the Mates Rates team who can call me back ... or I can ask here and hope for the best first!).

Many thanks
