I would appreciate knowing precisely itemised what it would cost me to upgrade my V+ box to a TiVo box. For instance, would VM just swap my existing V+ box for a TiVo box all for free and I still only pay £32 monthly for the XL package ? Or will I have to pay an installation cost plus an increased monthly cost, still with the XL package ?

For my own personal taste in TV, considering all the channels I have no use for, including sports, kids stuff, radio and film channels, plus the incessant program repeats we continuously get, it would not be worth paying any extra charges just to have a TiVo box.
Thing is with VM is that if you have all three services (TV, BB and Phone) then you will pay a bundle price rather than the individual elements. It would be interesting to know your full monthly charge for your full package.

You could then compare against their current bundles such as Big Kahuna (https://my.virginmedia.com/bundles.html) which includes TiVo, XL TV, 152Mb BB and M Phone for £49 + LR. Obviously a chat with retentions may get it for a bit less but worth a shot. Good luck
