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

You ring up threaten to leave and hey presto a free service call is arranged , the beauty of being able to change.

Well all I can say is with my 6 years Sky service before i came to VM i never once payed for a service call , they simply wont let you leave for the price of a service call.

For the people that don't like the price (and that's understandable) why not just wait for the small (and cheaper) TiVo to come out. It's in there mag so it's been confirmed as coming.

It will be Â£239 after this price for a while, just so you know.

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.

No dont expect it for buttons ... dont even want it until its a fully working 100% finished product (maybe in 2012 by the speed of VM) ...

BUT i did expect an offer a damn site better than what they have made & I expected to have some sort of connection between TiVo offer and being a VIP customer and their promise of a reworked , revamped , better VIP package announcement which they promised in early 2011... we are now entering April which cannot be seen as early 2011 even by VM's standards

As a company VM have dropped way down in my recommendations to others & even the one thing they had right (broadband) has been a let down with all the reports of the Hub are to go by ... personal rating of VM used to be 9/10 but over the last 6 months i would now only rate them as 5/10 .. not good

DF Is the reason I did not get the email because I only entered the raffle?

If it is I thought you said I would get the same email? Kind of wrong really if it is the reason because I didnt pre-register because of the raffle. The raffle stopped me pre-registering.

My name has changed to Dean too. I don't mind being called Dean as long as you pay for the privilege. I'll wear a pink dress and be called Lucy for the right amount.

You should contact VM and voice your opinion.

So it's just so the frail and infirm pay the service charges to cover the people that threaten to leave? That Rupert such a scamp.

I had an email too addressed to some chap called Dean. Maybe they might send the bill to him as well?

I know this is prob somewhere on the forum, but when will you be able to record two channels and watch a third channel on the TiVo box?
