That explains it then.
VM really have done a good job on their site, and - finally - a mention that Tivo can record 3 at the same time.
But, someone needs to look at the comparison chart (vs Sky HD) because it doesn't display properly in Firefox 5.

Re: Is the TiVo charge now £3 per month on all TV packs?
The 1TB TiVo box is now £99.95 for 1st and subsequent boxes
The 500GB box is £49.95 for 1st and subsequent boxes
Free install for all customers
The monthly TiVo charge is now only £3 for all customers (so we’ll change the monthly charge for existing L and M+ customers from £8 to £3 with immediate effect

They are certainly upping the ante now there is no doubt with these offers that l will be getting another one and it will be interesting how these offers play to the wider audience now.

Do Virgin charge extra for a 2nd box? For £50 for the 500Gb box I'm tempted to get one for upstairs.
But then I see Tivo in the US are now talking about the 'slave' boxes which Virgin have mentioned in the past.

Tivo without a hard drive and it plays back what's stored on the main Tivo.

Think it would look something like the 2nd picture.

at £50 and no tivo fee for a second box there is no point brining out a slave box

My knowledge of History is more suited to studying British and Roman history.
