Had phone call yesterday ( number withheld) Asking why I had not taken up the free V6. Said ,as well known here "if it an`t broke don`t fix it" And from what I have seen its no better than my Tivo ( in the way I use it which is not a lot!)
Asked if I would like to have one ,upgrading my package for 6 months at the price I pay now ( on new contract) Said no as I was looking at down grading TV yet again. WHY are they so keen to push it out . I see price increase written all over this free offer!
Maybe you are too focussed on price. Fair enough if that if all you can afford, but don't make the mistake of thinking that you will only get marginal benefits when getting a V6.

If you try to get into Netflix on the Tivo, it performs well when you you are in, but it takes about a minute to get in. That's not a big problem, but with the V6 you get in as soon as you press the button. That is so cool, and the experience these days that you expect.

When I tried to use the BBC i-Player on my Tivo, I experienced stuttering, buffering and being thrown out altogether. But with the V6 it is playing perfectly.

VM are aware of these issues and are keen to bring a better experience to their customers and keep complaints to the minimum.

So you why are you resisting this?
