Just read the last few posts, and it seems that in my excitement I also made the mistake of thinking the 20th March would be the date that I would be pre-ordering TiVo. I really should read things properly, but this "TiVo-fever" is clouding my judgement.

We're launching in April so we’ll be in touch in the coming weeks with an exclusive offer, just for our customers

That had better be the 149 pounds with free install that the other people have paid (who didn't win a free one). Who thinks it will be 149?

Don't mean to sound negative but I doubt that will be the case. I haven't found them very forthcoming with freebies lately. Just had a new "super" hub which has a worse wifi signal than the Virginmediahub, when I called to ask for 5m of cable to move it to a different room I was quoted a Â£99 "relocation charge". So I won't be holding my breath for a free install. It won't stop me getting one though!

No free TiVo for me either. Oh well I'll wait until the cheeper TiVo box arrives in June now.

Maybe they'll give us a break and charge us less for inconveniencing loyal customers? Certainly seems to me now loyalty counts for nothing and you may as well cut and run and sign up with who offers you the best deal at the time.

I've found this whole thing pretty frustrating and doubt my initial vent on this forum made much of a difference. What annoyed me most was people being given it free ahead of people who actually want it and would pay.

it to do with what package your on for free stuff. if u was paying over 100 quid to virgin u who wouldn't want something for free, of course u would end of the day all virgin have done is rewarded high paying customers with next gen digtal box. i'm lucky i got the call for one it all i deserve with the service i had since christmas.

i've been constantly ringing up for an update on a fix for my net going down every couple of days got sorted in feb they new superhub few weeks later since then not had a problem with. end of day i was in same boat as most who haven't got it waiting for the call then roughly a week ago i got the call.

funny thing is just got exact email every one has got but i already have install date and confirmed last week when senior tech fella rang and contract through the door.

Still waiting for my 'were just not that into you' email.

Johnlouis · 18-03-2011, 18:25

I don't think he was having a go at those who had a free TiVo Harry, he was just asking if all pre-regs would get free install, like others who paid for the box only. Congrats on the TiVo by the way!

wyabcp · 18-03-2011, 18:33

Just got a "you're not the one" email ... damnit.. so what exclusive offers are virgin customers gonna get ?

dazgwinn · 18-03-2011, 18:37

What a shambles!
What exactly was the point of registering in last Dec?
This has been a complete waste of time.
I'm sticking with my V+
i'm more than willing to pay but i think that they have no idea how to treat folk

Did you win a free one in the raffle, get one given for free for other reasons or did you pay fo it; if you paid, how much did you have to pay?
