Where are you getting your pricing information from?

Previous posts so not from VM direct, but the pricing I posted is what is expected as far as I know.

No lottery ticket. No email. But I got a flyer leafet through the letterbox this week, telling me about VM's services, despite me being a customer already.

Its like I don't exist or something.

your luck i did not even get the flyer

Maybe pricing should be:

Pre reg VM customers: 149 all in (consistent with what people have been paying).

VM customers who didn't pre reg: 149 + 40 install

New customers: 199 + 40 install (already announced)

?

..and at the same time I hope, so that the only single scart can be used to send RF via a distributor round the house, while watching in HDMI on the main TV.

Why would they charge less for a product that has a 50,000 waiting list just because you never got one of the free TiVo boxes, it will be a case of you want one then OK this is the price you need to pay.

It's called fairness, needed to maintain their reputation

VM should charge the same price to all pre-reg current customers. As the people who have currently got tivo (and didn't win one) paid 149 all in, that should be the price for all pre-reg VM customers.

If thats the case you have to remember loyalty works both ways.

You have to remember that only Virginmedia have TiVo.

So it is a question of do you want TiVo or do you not want TiVo.

As I indicated in my first post quite happy to pay and I know having experienced the series 1 how good TiVo is, I just would like the opportunity to give Virgin media some of my hard earned cash and enable employees such as yourself to access the internet, food and other essentials.

I know that you have a S1 so wondered why you complained when you are one of the few who know what it is like to own one, especially as the support is finishing in a few months for the S1 as well.

The charged more for the original V+ than they are for the TiVo so it is very much a bargain considering what it is capable of doing.

Somehow I don't think either Masque or myself will be calling you

Can i just say that the 50,000 seems a little strange as Square Eyes over on WWW.VMHD.BLOGSPOT.COM as they he/she says that the first batch of emails went out to 117,000 customers?

I certainly will not be calling him.

Because it is not my job.

That was the original figure and I expect it to have well exceeded that by now, it will be interesting to see how many actually do sign up for TiVo.
