My set top box was recently replaced due to a fault and to my astonishment this has been replaced by the old style V Box and not with the V+ Box which I believe is now standard for all new subscribers! I am informed that to upgrade to the V+ Box will cost me £20 or £49.95 if I want to have it installed by an engineer!! This for a service which is freely available to all new subscribers!

Anyone else experienced this problem and did they manage to get Virgin Media to relent? I want the V+ box to be able to record programmes and no I am not interested in the extra monthly subscription for TIVO!
V+ is not installed as "standard", I'm not sure why you are "astonished"? , all boxes are swapped FREE like-for-like.
