It's £6.50 a month if you've got HD activated or £10 a month if you don't. EDIT: Although as their main box is a V+HD it would be activated lol

Thank you Ben, just because it seems strange am I reading this correctly ( as you say it doesnt apply in my case) with HD £6.50 with out HD £10 a month. Am i missing something ?

Secondly I thought I saw somewere ( can never find when I want too) that Virgin are moving the V+ box for free & not charging for a second box if taken with a Tivo - so that would cost of Tivo + £3 per month - Or did I dream that - will keep searching think it was a Norwich city fan that posted that but I am getting old !!!

Yup for you it would be £6.50 a month + £3 TiVo as a maximum

But you are right, Virgin are running an offer for some customers where you can keep the V+HD as an additional box for free - so you only pay the TiVo fee

You'd need to check with Customer Services as to whether you can get that offer or not

This would be a sell for our family! Dad is always moaning that he cannot watch XYZ upstairs due to it not being on Freeview.
May call up sometime in the next week or so and see what deals can be made.

Thanks Ben.

Ok any idea how long that" deal" would last - If and I guess "they" could withdraw it at anytime ( Ok so could I if they did) It could go up £xx per month. Or would it have to be for the contract length ?

As far as I know the additional box offer is indefinate once you get the package - meaning they would have to notify you in writing before stopping it if you haven't changed anything, or notify you it will be removed as part of a bundle change
