I was at my brothers last night and he was asking me about TiVo and Virgins new Collections. He has been on the VIP package for 4 years and out of contract for sometime.

Basically does anyone know for sure how long needs to pass between leaving Virgin and re-joining them before they class you as a new customer and give you new customer deals. He is interested in the VIP Collection which is half price for 6 months plus free TiVo 1Tb.

He's been with Virgin without contract for 3 years and has no plans of leaving. He has no problem entering into a 12 or 18 month contract. As he stands currently he'll have to pay £49.95 activation fee and £49.95 installation fee for TiVo 1Tb. He is just wondering if there is a way to get it free plus his package half price for 6 months to boot.

Surely it can't be as easy as leaving and re-joining pretty much straight away as everyone out of contract would be doing it? Any info would be great.
