Very well said

I voted for saying that subs are high enough however I expect I shall pay the Â£3 extra.

I see the 1TB disc as the most important feature over the V+. It is very difficult recording the cricket in HD due to lack of space.

A new customer to VM taking TIVO and XL would pay

Box 199

TIVO sub 36.00
XL 294.00
Totalling 569 for yr1

Sky+HD
Box and install free
6mix 24.50 x 12 = 294

Totalling 417.00 a year.

Why do people always look at the first year as most people have never switched provider and this has been stated before so in the long run VM would be the best as you do not get call out charges if the box goes down?

Just a thought? This will be for new customers taking out maybe multiple services?

But most companies have retentions deals after year 1. I know what you.mean though and to be fair the TIVO box is 1Tb were sky+HD is only 250gb although it will tape 60 hours of HD.

Have you missed off the 1TB sky box and install cost?

muppetman11 · 21-03-2011, 19:50

The sky+hd 1 TB box is 249.00 to new customers , however over on AV forums existing customers were being offered the box for 149 and free self install option.

I am some what confused by VM at times, they say they are all about VOD and yet they are pushing the 1 TB TiVo box to record material. To me that says they are not confident of being able to supply all the catch up content in the future just as they are not at the present time.

The sky box is actually a 1.5tb however 500gb is allocated for Anytime.

But weren't you talking about new customers who have to pay 249 for the 1TB sky box; you quoted tivo new customer pricing.

On the other hand it shows that they really do listen to what their customers want at times. Customers have been shouting out for a box that allows them to record more, much much more than 20 hours worth of HD material. This box answers their demands.

Sky refer to it as "Sky+HD 1TB box"

Are you going to re-do the figures

A switch to mpeg4 would sort that out, my Sky box is 500gb , 250gb for personal recording and 250gb for Anytime. The 250gb records 60 hours of HD.

So in essence it is a 1TB box?
