Re: TiVo

Actually there's been quite a few moaning on the thread that they think it's taking the p*** to charge for a box that isn't finished, so there is a basis for his comment.

If you are that unhappy over being charged for the very latest kit then do not sign up for it when the call comes as the are 50,000 other people waiting to take your place.
Also the S1 TiVo does not have 3 tuners either and this is something brand new for this country.

Re: TiVo
No letter here yet. VIP50, and the farce continues.
There are 2 versions of the email sent yesterday. Some people got one quoting priority installs during March, and the one I got saying we will be in touch towards the end of march.

No, I opted out of direct marketing so despite being on triple Xl I'm not expecting the black envelope. One of the VM Staff said on here if you opted out you're out of luck.
Not sure if that means a phone call is direct marketing as well though....

There is a danger of mixing up charges here.
As a VM customer you can get HD channels at any level (M/L/XL) of TV package included within your base TV service price, at Sky they charge £10 per month for any access to HD but then have a different TV package structure (Variety, news, etc) as we all know.
So with VM it is possible to start with a lower TV package and get HD.
You then have the option to purchase on top of that (applies to both Sky and VM customers) the Sports/Movies channels subscription with its additional HD subscription on top, Sky have a slight advantage in that they have kept exclusivity for Sky Sports 3 and 4 HD otherwise you can get the same on VM at a slightly lower price (£7 versus £10).
However the benefit is that VM do not charge for access to basic HD channels, be it that they haven’t got as many as Sky (but plan to bring out more this year so closing the gap) and Sky will always have some element of advantage of volume HD channels but increasingly only on what I regard less relevant or impriotant channels.
The £3/month Tivo has nothing to do with HD and if you don’t want to pay it, don’t buy a Tivo premium box as is being launched now. You can still buy a V+ box after Tivo and later this year there will be cost reduced versions of the Tivo box as well.
As far as I can tell this £3 is a Tivo subscription for the unique features Tivo provides including the Internet based apps which will bring a new generation of services to your TV.
The only packaging gap I can see right now is a non-Tivo premium server but larger HDD box but I feel that will be one of the options coming out later this year, so suspect that will address what you need.

They've had years to bring out a larger HDD V+ and not bothered, so why would they now when they can charge £199 for a TiVo?
