Re: TiVo

Phone just went...
freephone number...
"hello this is Virgin Media" (oh yes.....)
"we have some good news" (heart beating very fast)
"about your phone useage we have a special package avail

This is not fair! Virgin you tease
Needless to say the "special" phone package was declined.

Re: TiVo

Right I will tell you my story if you are all sitting comfortably?

1- I registered interest when the site first went up.
2- When the 1000 remotes went out I contacted the CEO office and it was passed to Cindy Rose, and she asked for my account number to make sure that I was in the new draw.
3- Received the e-mail saying that TV heaven is just weeks away.
4- Then received the unique ref number as a e-mail and registered it on the site.
5- When I received the call the Lady did not mention anything about the draw and that I had won one? She also mentioned that so long as that I was on the VIP 50 pack i would not be charged the £3 per month for TIVO.

P.S she also said that my details had been passed to her from the loyalty department.

Hope that this is some clarification for some on here?

So if you did not get the points 3 and 4, it would seem that this is not the raffle for the normal as I am sure there is a post on this thread that there was a different one for for the VIP customers? Will try and find the post ( may take a while due to the amount of pages on here? )

This is exactly the same experience as mine, except part 3 which my wife did but I didn't, can't be a coincidence

Re: TiVo

Well, after missing the phone call yesterday I did get another one not long after I got in from work tonight

So I'm now a very happy customer, free TiVo and no £3 subs for 12 months (Not on VIP)

I did quiz the CS rep asking if I was lucky enough to win the recent draw and he said no as he was ringing from the customer loyalty team and I had been selected as a valued customer.

However as the conversation went on it sounded more like I had won as he said 'There are only a 1000 people getting TiVo for free' and 'Around 4,500 people entered'

If I'm honest I wasn't going to grill the man any further in case he took my TiVo away from me

Requested next available Saturday for install which was 26th March, to be honest this did me a favour as hopefully the 3rd tuner will be active by then.

Now the controversial information (please no one shoot me down in flames)

1. Package I have is XL TV inc. Sky Sports, L BB & M phone so not a very high paying customer compared to some. However my contract finished Feb last year.
2. Registered for TiVo a little late, mid January I believe. Partly not being able to find my A/c number and partly forgetting to do it.
3. Got the raffle flyer and registered it well before the cut off date.

Keep the faith people, I'm sure your phone calls will come

Let the conspiracy theories commence

Re: TiVo

Another day gone still no call, and there I thought 11 years as a top package customer on all services = a loyal one.
