No. The draw works in exactly the same way for all those entered

However Virgin haven't completed the notifications yet

Thats strange because on the back of that ticket letter draw thingy...

It says 'One TiVO box per account'.

i would assume thats just "one free winning box" and that if you win you can pay for extra ones

they are not gonna turn away extra business if your willing to pay the price just depends on what price they ask at the time

I am sure in a previous post that i said that the next couple of weeks will divide a lot on the forums

yeah well i dont object to lucky draws or raffles ... its actually a good idea ... they just need to inform people what they are doing BEFORE they do it and not let forums be the leading edge of providing information

my mind is already made up ... i wont pay for tivo but i wont refuse a free tivo but i would actually like the opportunity to say yes or no to an offer ....

as i stated earlier in this thread i do have a sneaky feeling that maybe after a year or two that VM/tivo will see the product as a cash cow and start upping the prices quicker than customers would expect but obviously that is pure speculation on my part

we shall see in time

*sigh*

Pre-reg and VIP and still no email OR letter through post... VM must really hate me!!

*picks toys up and puts them in pram so can throw them out again*

j/k (but would be nice to have had one or the other)

Well for one I have not got a sense of humour and if this is they way that this forum is going all I have to say is goodbye as it seems that most are having a go at the staff and those that try to help.

The hard drive is for recording television content nothing more.

Of course because it's all super secret unless someone blabs we won't know.

Well what ever the situation there is still plenty of time to get it in March. Say testing of it started next week and lasts two weeks. And rollout was the week after. It would still be March

I will not have a go at any forum member who works for Virgin because they are doing a good job , the problems lie with the company and its shambolic roll out and communication with Tivo.

What is the £3.00 charge for ? Ok the TIVO box gives you reccomendations but this sort of thing is already available on the Sky website (remote record)or Sky+ iPhone/iPad app.

Nobody targets the staff they do a great job , people just get disgruntled with the firm and it's decisions from time to time.

It is the monthly subscription charge to keep the box enabled just like a V+ Vbox.
