Re: TiVo

This ticket to get a free Tivo - is this definitely going out to all VIP customers as today I received the call and have paid £149 and accepted the £3 extra monthly charge. Will I still get a ticket? And if I do and am one of the 1000 what happens??

Re: TiVo

Boo no raffle ticket and I'm on VIP50, instead VM just sent me the following email

The countdown is on!

A little while ago, you let us know you were interested in our new TV service, Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo®. We’re delighted you’re as excited about the new service as we are! We’re looking forward to bringing it to you as soon as we can. In fact, that’s why we’re getting in touch.

Here's the latest...

The new TiVo service will be available to the general public in the next few months. But you won’t have to wait that long to get your hands on it.

At Virgin Media, our customers come first. That’s why we’d like to offer you the chance to order your TiVo service before it goes on sale to the rest of the Great British public which we expect to be in April. What’s more, we’ll make sure you’re first in the queue to have your service installed, with priority installation, just for Virgin Media customers.

If you’re interested, you don’t need to do a thing. We’ll be in touch around the end of March to let you know how you can get the TiVo service before it goes on general sale. For now, you can sit back, relax and wait for all the good stuff to come to you.

Good to see some communication coming out at last.

Anyone had a lottery ticket and this email?

Re: TiVo

As to the email, I was feeling excited about TIVO when I registered before I learnt that a few lucky people got a free remote and free install, and a few people were getting their installs, and a raffle ticket with no subs for 12 months but the lack of communications has taken the edge off

Re: TiVo

1st post, hi everyone

I also got an e-mail but the wording is different....

The countdown is on!

A little while ago, you let us know you were interested in our new TV service, Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo®. We’re delighted you’re as excited about the new service as we are! We’re looking forward to bringing it to you as soon as we can. In fact, that’s why we’re getting in touch.

Here's the latest...

We’ve had an amazing response to our new service from our existing customers so will be offering them priority installations throughout March. We expect the new TiVo service to be available to the general public in April and we’ll make sure that you’re first in line before it does go on general sale. From then on you’ll be able to search, browse, record and explore even more on your TV. Get set to transform your TV experience very soon!

We’ll be in touch again nearer the time to bring you more of the details. For now, you can sit back, relax and wait for all the good stuff to come to you.


Yours sincerely,

The Virgin Media team.

Re: TiVo

I actually got both emails...

I originally registered with my gmail account before I was a Virgin customer and that account today received the same email as Parlyboy.

After becoming a Virgin customer I thought I better register again as an existing customer this time, using my virgin address. That account received the email that the others are reporting.

Yes, 1st day. On Triple XL but still not really sure if I should be expecting the call any time soon.

Patience is not my strongest point...oh well.

Re: TiVo

Darn - not only did I not get the flyer (I suspect I will tomorrow), but no email either (and I pre-registered). That's it - VM must really hate me - *stomps off in a huff*

Just kidding As I've said before it'll get here when it gets here

Re: TiVo

Hi, my first post, I think. I have not registered for TIVO, in fact was not that interested in it but I received a letter in the post today. In it was as a URN - Unique Reference Number and a request to register, which I have and I'll guess I just wait and see now.
