Hi all, i recently phoned virgin to cancel my tv service but was told it would be cheaper to keep the tivo on the basic package.

What i want to ask is can i disconnect the tivo box and put it up the loft as id like to replace it with a youview box. Or does the tivo need to remain connected to the virgin network?

If you're keeping other services, it is cheaper to keep Tivo on the M TV package.

I guess it helps VM with TV subscriber numbers and they're possibly hoping you will see a show on a channel you aren't subscribed to and up your subscription?

Also, as you have a nice PVR included, maybe VM think you are less likely to go shopping around for a new broadband provider?
