Will you now take Tivo on the new info ?
Given the info that DIGITAL FANATIC has given out I thought that I would start a new poll:

Here is the info that DF has posted:

Install is free in April, so you are getting that knocked off.

VIP's (50 & 100 only)are getting the TiVo monthly charge waived. It will appear on the bill, but you will get a bigger discount to cover.

now stop moaning!!!!!

There is also more deals around additonal outlets, but you'll need to speak to sales or see this in the ordering process online

Very likely now. That installation fee was a bit of a dampner.

Re: Will you now take Tivo on the new info ?
Considering it (along with an upgrade to VIP50 which I have previously considered as I wanted to go up to 50MB and Sky Sports HD). The free install has brought me in from "not a chance" to "considering it".

Only thought now is the possibility of a cheaper, smaller TiVo. A 500GB box would be plenty for me, and if it was half the price of the 1TB it would be a lot easier to justify to the wallet

To wait or not to wait - that is the question!

You might find little difference in the price once the 'Baby' comes out with the £40 install fee on top.

That is true as who knows it may come up to £139 for the "Baby TIVO". E.G £99 for the box and £40 install ( just my thoughts )

Re: Will you now take Tivo on the new info ?
TiVo offers me personally nothing I can see of importance or interest to make me pay £149.

So a No vote still and wait until they upgrade everyone to a free TiVo box in the future ... at least by then it may be a finished product and not a beta/unfinished product it is now.

Certainly wont pay extra without extra content ... just cant see any reasoning or logic in that when i can already do everything the TiVo does but with a little of my own elbow grease and an internet connection.

No point in super duper apps and WOW features if you dont have the content to back it up
