Customer Services were very helpful but told me Tivo won't be available in darkest Battersea until April.

I don't think I'm being unreasonable. All I want is a set top box that's fit for purpose and will work when I want to use it. If that's going to cost me a £50 install fee and £5 a month to Virgin I'm afraid I will (much as I hate them)look at what Sky can offer when my current contract ends. Been on cable since Videotron so maybe it might be time for a change
Have you considered a VHD box ? They really are quite nifty, faster than V+ or TiVo, with none of the issues, nice and quiet too. Ok so you can't record but most stuff is on catch up. Join it up to a freeview hard drive recorder for the perfect solution.
