But what happens if you find the Virgin TV service doesn't meet your needs a year down the line , what happens to the box then ?

We'll agree to disagree.

That is choice that you would have to make at that time as no one has a crystal ball.

Have to say thought the Install cost would have been waved for the pre-regers, ah well.... Still getting one.

Some of your XL sub already does LOL

It is a case of do you want it then here is the price so just sign here please.

the key words "are capable of" .... its not yet capable of them and there is no new content to show of these new capabilities ....

the offer is an insult IMHO especially when a lot of the proposed features are just that .. proposed and not yet ready or signed and sealed deals ... the TiVo product is not finished and will not be finished in time for its launch and yet they still expect existing customers to be excited and jump for joy at the 'Special Offer' deal that they cant even address as Dear Sir/Madam but instead picked a random name 'Dean'.

All that and they have still failed to put any information out about the VIP revamp which they promised us at the beginning of the year ... sorry VM have simply failed to deliver to me personally and to the wider public with a pretty rotten (thats an understatement) special offer for its loyal customers.

We'll agree to disagree.

What happens if your service still meets your needs but your box has decided to die a year down the line.....

Sorry, I'm throwing the cat in amongst the pigeons. I shall go back to sleep!!

To be honest I was happy when we lost the Sky basics, never watch them. Personally I would have been happy for the money to go else where, I guess I'm in the minority there though so hay-ho.

Did you pre-register or just enter a draw?

It is a state of the art premium box that no one else can offer you so the choice is yours, do you pay the asking price and get one and enjoy what it can do, or do you stay with your existing box or look towards SKY instead, the choice is yours.

If you honestly thought you were ever going to get this box for buttons then I have no idea why you would think that way at all as it was always going to cost you money.

Woohoo!! I got the email, I got the email!! Though I'm confused why they think I'm Dean, since no one in our house is Dean and I'm female LOL. (it said 'Hello Dean') Then again the VM email I got the other day that was nowt to do with TiVo said Hello Peter! Go figure!

But at least they DO have my info in spite of not receiving anything else to this point after I pre-registered.

Phew - looking forward to the 11th!

Everything else will come in due course.

As long as it has Catherine Tate, Doctor Who Series 2 and Balamory on there I'll be happy
