Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
As it is very doubtful that we will be getting the TiVo I have not been keeping up with this thread and therefore am not sure if this link about a second TiVo has been posted before.
My apologies if this is old news.

Virgin Media has confirmed it is introducing a new 500 GB TiVo box from mid-May. <snip> Whilst the 1TB box is available exclusively to the ‘top-tier’ ‘XL’ TV customers, the 500GB box will be available to all Virgin Media pay-TV customers for £49.95, extending availability to L and M+ tiers.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Not complaining , well maybe just a little bit.
I am on a VIP package XXL 50 MB, XL TV, XL PHONE, have been with Virgin Media in one form or another since around 1995, and I never revcieved any emails to give me the chance to pre register. I checked this yesterday with CS and they told me they do not send emails to everyone. Go figure. Will just have to be patient I suppose.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
This may have been asked and answered before but my question regards recording priority. If the intuative Tivo tries to record what it thinks you might need from key words etc. and I have set my recoder to record specific programmes, which takes precedent?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Just got my email today and ordered online. Rang sales first to confirm costs etc.. No confirmation email as yet but did print out confirmation page from my browser with all the correct info. Decided to move the existing V+HD box upstairs so just gonna cost me the £9.50 extra a month inc tivo fee + the £149 activation cost. Not bad really as my TV contract ran out a couple of weeks back so saved £10 a month from retentions so not real extra cost for me.
Happy days

It will be the specific ones that take priority?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Have they all been sent out today... I still haven't got mine. Just to make things clear, I did receive the last email (the Dean one, and the one after that apologising for calling me Dean) so I should get the email, as I put my customer details on the form.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
My neighbor ordered TiVo upgrade yesterday ... unhappy so many were given install dates he phoned again today to be told there are no install dates on the system for this area at all in the past present or future.. lol ...
Well Done VM you did it again ... launch a product .. sell the product .. but cant supply the product in some areas for the foreseeable future
and before anyone has a go at me for being anti VM .. im actually pro VM but the TiVo launch has been abysmal as far as i am concern and im not even gonna get TiVo

If i dont get the email today or wed, will i be able to call and quote that email as it seems to be order on-line now only?

If you don't get one by the end of Wednesday, then you would be able to call sales.
you should be on our database as a pre reg'er.
