Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Just had my install date revised - now Thursday 21st of April.

I've got the following week off, so lots of time to play with the shiny new toy.....

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I think some of the confusion over upgrade billing is between bundle discounts (for instance, I have XL Triple Saving on my bill) and loyalty discounts (I know I was confused until I checked my bill). It appears that we keep bundle discounts, but some people are losing loyalty discounts.

Any VM staff, please feel free to correct my misconception if necessary.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Just wondering for when I do my order, if you fill in the online form, do they just contact you via e-mail or do they phone you to confirm the order?

Couldn't wait any longer so I called up. It appears that my install time was changed to afternoon.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I've just had a confusing email from VM about Tivo.

I ordered online and requested Tues 26th April 8:00 - 13:00 and 13:00 - 18:00.

The email I received says congratulations, the charge will appear on your next bill. We are sending one of our technicians round on 19/04/2011 6PM to install.

Does this sound right, or is this a mistake in the email (I am at work at the moment so can't check this; I will tonight if I don't get a response here). That date and time would be ideal if it's true.

If you can, call 0845 454 1111 from work and speak to customer care, they can confirm the date and time now, as it will be on your account.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I've had no offer email yet and I pre-reg'd ages ago.

I've been a bit of a lurker on these forums (as I'm the quiet type) but now getting a bit concerned about not getting the opportunity to get TIVO installed free.
