Re: TiVo
Typical Virgin Media as they always string things out. we will be lucky if we will get them before march and then the question is will existing customers be looked after more than the newer customers.

From what I hear, once the aforementioned 500 rollout has been completed, those existing customers who have registered interest will then be contacted

I thought we were now up to a 1000 before customers are contacted, its a "double rollover"

Is there any official confirmation for that?
Seems odd it wasn't mentioned in the press release if that's the case.

"In terms of our roll-out, we're focusing initially on our staff and existing customers before we really open it out to prospects at large. We think that's important because getting the advocacy, getting the excitement, getting the buzz going within our home territory, if you like, is incredibly important. Particularly with a service that, in the end, really comes alive once you start using it. Word of mouth spreads and so on. It's the right way to get this product into the market".

This mentions that existing customers will get it first, but no mention of cheaper prices.
