You're right £50 one-off is bargain
+ you can record to it + when they activate tivo communication you'll be able to watch the content from your main Tivo

You are right Jethro in that £50 is a bargain in my mind.

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

only £100 for the 1 tb, do you have to have an engineer install it or can it be done diy, is that £100 a permanent price for the 1tb

It would need to be done by a engineer as they need to check all the signal levels and to make sure that all is well.

Re: Is the TiVo charge now £3 per month on all TV packs?
Quite annoyed that VM knock the cost down to £99.95 with no install fee for existing customers less than 3 months after the pre-registers got the absolute bargain of paying £149 with no install fee for it...
It all sounded a good deal when it was advertised with "everyone else pays £199.95" but now we find out that "everyone else" isn't actually "everyone else" and as soon as it's on general release it's got £100 knocked off the price.
If they'd advertised what was actually going to happen I'd have waited the less than 3 months to save myself £50.

The price we have to pay is being lied to about the cost "everyone else" is going to pay for it as they slash it the second it actually goes on general release?
I understand things getting cheaper, if it was 6 months down the line I'd shrug and go "oh well" but it's not, it's as soon as it's gone on actual release.

But what can we do as thats what happened and you could shout from the rooftops about being unhappy about but it still won't change the fact that this is how it is and customers just have to accept that in the end.

Clearly not enough people took up the original offer of the boxes. I did say on this forum a month or so back that virgin would have to reduce the cost if enough people didn`t sign up. It so often pays to sit back and wait,as I have done.

But you do not know how many signed up and remember it was only available to existing customers and was not on general release to the full public.

Re: Is the TiVo charge now £3 per month on all TV packs?
So a few thousand got given a Tivo for free, Everyone will now get free install and a choice of £99 for 1tb or £49 for 500gb.
The so called valued customers who were offered Tivo early paid £149 for box and £49 install lol..Talk about take the wee wee.
Also is the £3 fee per box or per account?

Early adopters? Some people paid out less than 6 weeks ago. I would of expected a price drop within 6 to 8 months...Not 6 to 8 weeks.

But thats the price we knew we were going to pay and we accepted that when we purchased it.
