Or perhaps the box has still got plenty of bugs that need ironing out before a mass launch.

Re: TiVo

Bugs! Surely not But a possibility, there's a big difference releasing it to those of us who have been following it's progress and to Virgin customers who may only have seen some press info.

If the latter is true, then your suggestion does not provide a workaround.
It is the last 10 chronologically. Whether that's acceptable depends how quickly you watch things, or if you don't mind if an unwatched episode gets deleted sometimes. Personally I have far more recorded than I'll ever get time to watch, so I've always got something to watch when I want to.

Re: TiVo

I have just checked my bill and realised I have been charged twice for my TiVo

The TiVo team called me on 14th February and I paid £149 via debit card over the phone to pay for the box and arrange an install date for 5th March. My bill also shows a TiVo 1TB Box Activation Fee of £149 dated 5th March.

Was I scammed by paying the original fee over the phone by debit card as I thought Virgin would not add it on to an account? Of course I have no record of making the first payment to the TiVo team in Manchester just an entry on my online banking of "Virgin Media Pymnts" of 14th Feb for £149

You should find a credit for £149 on the bill too. Or on the previous bill

Just signed up for e-billing to compare and you are correct and this month's bill of £149.03 covers two months. Last month was a credit of -£76.04 and here is me thinking I was debited that amount last month, I'm sitting at my keyboard fuming with rage and fury. This e-billing lark is showing me up.
I blame the TiVo, it is recording so many hidden gems for me that I'm not going to bed at a sensible time and I'm losing my marbles. Must get some sleep zzzz

Re: TiVo

Signed into email today and see 2 emails from Virgin and get very excited.

1. - We want to get to know you better or something. Basically tick these subjects you are interested in and we will keep you up to date etc. WTF???? Do they not know there are more important emails from Virgin we are expecting? Also there was a customer offers/news section so I expect to see a Tivo update soon after ticking that.

2. - Was my usual bill :o(

So we are now March 29th with no Tivo email and in my case no news on the VIP revamp so they have 2 days left until I make contact with them if I don't hear about both of those items.

If you look up arse covering in the dictionary it has this as an example.
They did say we would hear by April, although we may not be able to order until May. LOL!!!
Gives me a few more weeks of pleasure with my SA box.
