Re: TiVo
Hmmm

I'm not sure I can sell this to the family. I'm a triple play XL with 2 v+ hd boxes which Ive only just had. I had to pay £150 on my first bill to get the 2 boxes. The idea of paying another £150 for something that I can't sell on doesn't make me feel very warm...

I had 2 Sky HD boxes which I know I'll recoup about £60 each for which will help with the upfront costs for last month. Its a bit much to ask someone to pay up front for a box which they can't sell on. I'd gladly pay it if I could as I could then offset the initial cost against say £100 for second hand to another VM customer.

This is so disappointing.

Re: TiVo
Been reading a few articles on the FT website and they are saying that it is going to be existing customers who get the box first before winning over new customers.

Re: TiVo
I'll pay £150 for the box but not the install at £40. I could buy a netbook for that price and it's mine.

It has to be installed / fine tuned and demonstrated by a Virgin Media installer, so the £40 will stand, sorry. It's a premium product.

Even installers wont be putting these in, it'll be inhouse service technicians

Re: TiVo
Must admit I don't mind the install and tweaking, but I can live without a demo... other than extra features it can't be much different to navigate than the older TiVos, plus I like to just sit and play

Have TiVo redone all the menues in HD now, or does it drop into the old non-HD menu at times when doing things such as web videos like the earlier Premier boxes in the States?

I'm guessing you're not very enthusiastic about that suggestion?

You might want to look at this from earlier in the thread:

No - still legacy throwbacks in certain places. I asked earlier (in this thread I think)

EDIT - sorry, just read back and seen previous reply - sorry @clinteastman
