Good news. I would have prefered other providers but happy we have a music service coming.

I hope we get preferential pricing.

Anybody else heard about this? Sorry, on my iPhone, don't know how to create links, this came from Crave- an iPhone app:

If you recently bought a 1TB TiVo box and found you missed those spent notes that used to make your wallet fat, then here's some good news -- Virgin Media has decided to give you Â£50 back. And you didn't even have to ask for it. Great stuff.
Virgin Media has cut the price of its 1TB TiVo box from Â£149.95 to Â£99.95, apparently to celebrate its new TiVo ad campaign. We're not sure why an ad campaign warrants a reduction in price, but we're certainly not complaining.
If you've already bought one of the boxes for its original price, then you can expect to receive a Â£50 refund -- just give Virgin Media a call and ask: "Where's my monies at?"

And also just found this on VMs site! Woohoo!

Pricing refund for early 1TB buyers

Hi
*
As many of you will have seen, we have just launched the marketing campaign for Virgin Media TiVo.* As part of this campaign we've decided to lower the price for the 1TB box to Â£99.95.** We're conscious that the earliest buyers of this great product paid Â£149.95, which was an offer only available to existing Virgin Media XL TV customers at the time.
*
We want to ensure that those who bought TiVo early are not missing out on the more competitive price now available.* We're therefore pleased to say that we'll be crediting all those customers who bought the 1TB box at Â£149.95 with the Â£50 difference.* This will appear on your bill in the next two months.* We'll be emailing all these*customers shortly, to confirm this.
*
We hope that you'll continue to enjoy your TiVo experience, which we think is the best way to watch TV, ever!
*
Thanks for your support
*
Alex

It's been mentioned on this thread and others already and many people have recieved an email telling them they are getting Â£50 credited back.

Oops! Silly me. Haven't been checking in so much lately, these threads seem to have died a death. And after posting I checked my email, and found my email had been sent about 4 hours before. I'll get me coat....

Something I've never noticed until today but the channel logos in the guide is a nice touch

If you hadn't rebooted your TiVo since it was installed you wouldn't have seen the channel logos. They only seem to appear once your TiVo has been rebooted for the first time.

That would explain it

How long before the TiVo settles in? Speed wise, it seems no better than my Samsung if not slower. I am assuming that is because it is downloading a load of info?

Also if I make a mistake when typing, where is the delete button? I press clear and it takes me all the way back to the home screen.

Use rewind [<<]. Fast-forward adds a space, BTW

Haha, cheers dude for that!

While you are here, I used to be able to push left and right to scroll through channels. Can only seem to scroll through by getting the mini guide up? Oh and how do I get info from a programme that is on the mini guide but on a different channel as info does not work?

It doesn't currently work for shows currently on however if you press record it will give you the prog info, once you have read it just press tv to cancel out.
