This prompted me to ring customer services because i was going to ring them anyway to make a change to my services. i got though to a very helpful Scottish lady who went through various screens of info she had on tivo but she found no pricing. Pity because I would probably pay the higher price but of course I would be a lot happier with the price you were given. I wonder if it were £60 fee would it be a higher monthly charge than the £3 per month that Media Boy was told.

Maybe you could split the thread from first post on the pricing leak for us?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
This is bonkers. Price rumours are on topic for the Tivo boxes surely.
Maybe it's time to allow a Tivo thread and all discussion/rumours and leave MB's thread separate.

You'll be lucky if half of VM customer services know the price of current products let alone future.ones.

The reason I ask is that a TiVo thread (or two) have been closed because we are discussing it in here (as it's in MB's first post) yet we keep getting asked to stop talking about it here. Just need a litte consistency.

Is there a link anywhere that shows exactly what the Tivo does? I know it has a larger HD but what other advantages are there over the V+ box?

You have got to be joking? This thread has no topic??? It's a total free for all.
A few people have asked for a Tivo thread and some have even created some threads and the mods have closed them down.
One of the biggest things ever to hit Virgin and we have 1 thread 90 pages big with allsorts of crap mixed in.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
The thread is about channels and services coming soon to VM and while discussion of TiVo is ok as the service is coming soon. However Wildly guessing about pricing is a waste of time until VM actually announce the pricing themselves.

But Absolute '00 is not coming to Digital TV.
Only DAB Radio in London.
---------- Post added at 12:45 ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 ----------
Movies 24 has become Christmas 24.
NBC has rebranded Movies 24 and Movies 24+ has Christmas 24 and Christmas 24+ on Virgin Channels 419 and 420.
But note that Virgin have still to update their EPG Banner.
