You'll get the TiVo "exclusively" one week before every bugger and his uncle can get it.

The trouble with the 'you haven't won' email was that it didn't distinguish between current customers and those who had registered.

The email we got after registering said we would be one of the first to get Tivo because we registered; this one doesn't separate pre-reg customers from non pre-reg customers.

Had mine fitted at 2 this afternoon and I must say I am disappointed.................




Still not made me a cup of tea, taken dog for walk or made the bed





I thought it was all singing and all dancing




On top of that I now have to record loads more to fill it up with stuff to watch.........



This is so annoying, have wasted 3 hours just playing so missed out on quality TV watching.



Will be on to retentions in the morning asking for compensation for not taking the place of a robot

It seems that the engineer did not leave all the extras with it ( A teasmaid, A 4 mile long lead and also a electronic bed spread that comes as standard extras ). So sorry that you have wasted 3 hours

You get a bunch of these free with your TiVo. A copy of every show title in the caption. Just stick them on the tv screen job done.

Which requires just £3 extra per month?
