ohhh, thanks that makes perfect sense, thanks for your help, i was gonna say an extra £3 per tivo box would be ridiculous.

It is per account and on VIP50 is included as part of the package. £100.55 if you have two TiVo boxes as part of the two allowed boxes within the package and then £6.50 for every box after that, regardless of what it is.

I am just wondering is it possible I can get a Tivo box and pay the same price per month?

I have a V+ Box and then a Standard V Box HD upstairs. I have the XL Package with Sky Sports & Movies and the HD Versions. Along with 50Mb Broadband and Telephone. Paying around £100 a month at the moment.

Best thing to do is phone them up and ask.

yes you can i'm a vip 50 customer with a mobile contract i spoke to them last night , tivo 500gb box was going to be £49.95 NO install (£40) or connection fee ( £50) and nothing to pay each month i was trying to order 100mb too but was told to ring when i get a leaflet/letter about the 100mb as i would lose some of my discounts

I'm still on the old VIP package, and probably being short changed.

V+ Box downstairs, standard V box upstairs.
20mb broadband. no superhub.
I do have the premium HD channels still.

Am i right in thinking a lot of you have the Tivo box, plus the V+ box and VHD boxes?

Only those that have switched to TiVo, otherwise the multiroom box is typically a VHD. Plus if they had three boxes they'd be paying at least one multiroom fee.

Hi guys, I'm in the process of leaving sky (tv multi only, no sports/movies £32 p/m)

and taking a deal with Virgin (already got BBM & TLK wknd £35 p/m) both are out of contract. Here's the offer:

BBL 10mb

TLK Evening & wknds
Tivo (£49 activation fee)

HD Movies

HD Sports

V+ XL box

£72 for 6 mths

£79 for 6 mths

then £86.49 for 6 mths

It looks similar to the VIP deal.

I think this is the best I can do, my issue is whether to haggle sky (AGAIN!) to get a decent tv package then haggle virgin for a better bb & tlk deal.

Any thoughts.

P.S.
Called last night to confirm. Was told sports/movies not HD.
May cancel now to stay out of contract.

Hi folks,
Sorry for resurrecting a 2 month old thread, but it seemed the most appropriate place to enquire. I upgraded from VIP20 to VIP50 in August 2010 to take advantage of the free Sky Sports HD offer. However, looking on various threads around here, I can't help feel I've been overpaying all this time (especially when I see some people have two Tivo boxes and still pay less than me)?

My bundle is specifically 2 V+ boxes, both with Sky Sports/Movies in HD (one free as part of the VIP bundle, one with the £7 surcharge). Looking at my bill, I'm wondering if I'm paying for 3 boxes ("1 additional V box") even though I only have 2?

Bundle charges:
- Talk International
- Talk Mobile
- Talk Unlimited
- TV Size: XL
- 1 Additional V Box
- V+ HD Monthly Fee
- XXL 50Mb Broadband
- Phone, TV & Broadband Saving
Bundle charges total £61.06

Phone line rental:
- Line Rental
Phone line rental total £13.90

Premium TV channels:
- Movies4,Movies5,Sports1,Sports2
- SkypremHD

Bundle charges total £43.50

Your package total £118.46

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

The bundles were redone when TiVo launched, so if you upgraded one of your boxes to TiVo you would probably pay less per month (but your Talk International package would be changed)

Just upgraded to vip 100 and i have 2 tivo boxs at a cost of £111 a month for the package.If i wanted to get another tivo box making that 3 would i be charged another £6.50 (Multiroom) for the new box. (sorry if it has been posted)

Yes

Can anyone give me idea of the exact price I would pay for the VIP package? I am interested in knowing before I give VM a call.

I currently pay £94 for
-50Mb broadband
-XL tv
-V+ HD
-Sports 1 + 2
-Premium HD

To me,it seems that for around the same I could get a new Tivo box and the movies package - is that right?

On the VIP package, is there any one-off charge for Tivo installation?

The price for the VIP50 is £100.46 PM then there is this in the small print?

Existing customers: Irrespective of the number of set-top boxes you already have, for every new sale - If you take a 500GB TiVo box as your first box, the activation fee will be waived; if you take a 1TB TiVo box as your first box, we will reduce the activation fee to £49.95.
