Hi folks, looking for some help here please.
Currently on VIP50 with V+ box in living room and 2 old pace boxes in bedrooms.
One of the boxes in the bedroom is playing up and an engineer has been booked for Thursday to come fix it.
Meantime i have decided that should go for Tivo so will phone tomorrow to book this. I know they are booking well ahead for this but what are my chances of having the engineer on Thursday instal Tivo in the living room and replace the box in the bedroom with the V+ from the living room, save on an additional engineer calling out later.
Second question is that if at some point in the future i decide to swap the two boxes in the bedrooms around, i.e. move the v+ box from one room to the other is it as straight forward as just unplugging them and swapping them or is there any work needed to re configure the v+ box.
Final question is can anyone confirm if it is still the case that if i do take Tivo and swap the v+ with one of the bedroom pace boxes that i will pay £3 a month for the Tivo but save £6 on the removed box, seems to good to be true.

Thanks for any help, it is appreciated.
