Yes, but surely 1000 people have now had their free box ordered. Am getting worried.

Thanks for that. Been reading this forum for ages, and thought it time I made my presence known.
Tivo looks really good, although as much as I'd like it, I have to admit that unless I receive a free one in the 'raffle', won't be able to afford it for a while yet - especially now that prices are going up anyway....
Been with Cable & Wireless, Nynex and now Virgin for years - paid for it at my parents before I moved into my own house - and never had any real issues, at least ones that haven't been able to be sorted out quickly.
Anyway - fingers crossed for TIVO.......

To be honest I can't really knock virgin myself i've got a great phone service a great t.v service a great mobile phone service and lastly a fantastic broadband service. So I only need a TiVo box to top it all off. As digital stated I've got till the end of March to be contacted so my fingers will be kept crossed for a call.

If they aren't being told they have won then they are probably VIP customers or the team are just forgetting to mention they are winners.
Rally not confusing at all. But everyone here seems to be adding 2+2 and getting 7.

I didn't win and I got the box for free, just have to pay £3 a month for it.

Re: TiVo
Another day another call at 5:30 with no one on the other end, annoying gits whoever they are.
With the number of people being now offered it free it does beg the question as to what the criteria is for this loyalty offer..
Which of course leads to the conclusion that if you don't get it free you must not be that important 
I still think that all VIP customers should be getting it free, to make VIP of value again, but i guess that won't happen until they hit the point when people are turning down £149 installs.
From a personal point of view, with the prospect of moving on the table and so many "valued" customers getting it free, if i ever get a call, and i'm asked to pay, i'll politely turn it down. By the time we get installed now, my TVdrive is currently full of stuff i want to watch so not losing that.

I called into our local VM retail store on Monday and one of the staff kindly spend some time showing me their TiVo. I have to say I was impressed.
PS: What were you doing up so early this morning? Were you standing by the phone, just in case?

Re: TiVo
Great review. I remember even with the Series 1 with its built in analogue tuner there was plenty of new content to discover. I can't wait to see what it will do with XL TV!

I am hoping that I will be one of you lucky few who have been offered one for nothing. I have entered the online draw through the link what was posted on here, but I did not receive a raffle ticket. I believe we are a XXXL customer with 20meg, all the TV v+ with a v Box, and also the full telephone service.

Re: TiVo
I mentioned to the virgin Twitter team about getting a call regarding TiVo, they said as long as you have pre registered you will receive a call, they are busy shifting through lots of customers to call at the moment,so hang tight.

Re: TiVo
There seemed to be a spate of calls on Wednesday last but nothing since then. That's just going by this forum of course!
