I tried the web link ... gives me a error web page not found so im guessing they check the IP address (or similar) and restrict the webpage to the select few

question is .... do they expect you to pay £149 (or more) for the box after 12 months and do they disable or remove the box if you dont ????

once again seems to raise more questions than it answers

EDIT ... tried web address in IE9 and works in that so must be Opera browser

no, you'd just start paying your £3 after 12 months.

To me this indicates that the vast majority of customers will not be getting a tivo installed from April onwards yet more shambolicness from Virgin who said it was coming out in December, pure bull one would say.

Thanks for the info.

Soooo if they are mailing unregistered customers with info can we say it's launched yet or is it still flaccid

Also will this new list of registrants replace the old list, so those of us not called yet get tossed back into a big hat again?

I got my little black envelope today, the URN just looks like the account number with some letters added.

You're forgetting that I have TiVo. Sure some people will have a moan or post about niggles, especially S1 TiVo owners as they will be the most critical. All feed-back is taken on board and the product and service is contantly being improved based on this.

If you want to wait a bit longer, then that's up to you.... nobody is forcing you to get Tivo.

Or was this box designed from the ground up for Tivo?

All VM boxes are built specifically to VM spec. Often they are based on a generic design, but they get seriously customised for VM. No-one else has three tuners, for example.

If you had read the Terms and Conditions you would have seen this below so question answered.

(a) if you wish to keep your TiVo service, you will be charged the then applicable monthly TiVo fee

So. I am assuming I am on a new 12 month contract only as far as the TV part of the package is concerned.
Doesn't really make any odds to me, as realistically I would probably keep the whole service or change the whole lot if for some reason that's what I wanted to do.
Hope that all makes sense!

Hi Topgun, how far into your current contract are you?
I'm 6 months in and having Tivo installed tomorrow but my new contract states 12 months under ALL the services!!!!!

Cheers

Maybe they have been reading my pots on here.
