Re: TiVo

I bet new customers will get the box for £199 but they'll have a special "free installation" period of a few months, so only end up paying £10 more than us "existing" and "preregistered" customers.

£40 for an install? Unbelievable!

Re: TiVo

Yep, I think it is the install that is stopping me. Also still £3 extra even those on VIP50 now. Would have been happy to pay £149 but not an install as well. If this is what VM call a very special offer, they need their head shaking.

All of Virgin Media's marketing and deals are aimed at new customers only.

Would be great if there was a loyalty scheme that is scaled to your length of time as a Virgin Media customer. With a discount or say a free movie rental.

This would keep the churn down and make Virgin Media customers feel appreciated and loved.

Sorry went a bit of course there.....

The Offer is priced wrong and most people are being squeezed with Tax, Food Prices so if you expect most people to take this "Offer" I think your in for a big shock.
If you dont want it then dont take it. It really is as simple as that.

I'm amazed that 50 pages on, people are still moaning about the price of a luxury TV service... do you think they are going to dish them out for free? Virgin ran a promotion with a set amount of boxes and that promotion has ended so everyone pays either the existing or new customer price, its really as simple as that.

This has to be the most frustrating thread I have ever witnessed on the Internet... ever!

Its a discussion forum - people want to discuss the pricing. If they don't agree with it, they are going to say.

I'd of thought it would have been free installation, but it's not up to me.

Other customers are going to have to pay £199 + £40 = £239.

Re: TiVo

Just had a email for dean (popular guy) also,Got to laugh had mine since 12th march.Reading it thou tad surprised they have not offered free installation as a sweetner,With the lack of new channels to back it thought they would have done that.Had a lot of my mates round to have a look at mine,All impressed but its the lack of new channels rather than the cost thats holding them back

Re: TiVo

I got the e-mail as well and my name is not Dean either? Had TIVO installed a while ago?

My only concern is that there is someone out there called Dean who has not received the e-mail and is getting irate
