Cable Forum - View Single Post - TiVo Trying to upgrade to Tivo at fair cost

I am moving back to Virgin Media for TV having only had phone and broadband for many years. I asked the sales agent to put me on the VIP package. Whilst the VIP package on the site says 50Mb broadband she said that I would only get 30Mb and would have to pay extra to the advertised price if I wanted the 50Mb.

She also asked me if I wanted the 500Gb Tivo othe 1Tb. She said that it would cost an extra £99.90 (2 x £49.95) if I wanted the 1Tb. Is this correct?

They are coming to do the installation on Wednesday and I wanted to get everything clear before then. What extra would it be if I wanted a 500Gb instead of the V HD box as it makes more sense to do it all at the same time rather than have them coming out later to update the second box? Is there enough time to change the V HD box to a 500Gb Tivo box if the price is right before Wednesday?
