Yes, Dean

You can record 3 channels at the same time and watch a recording or use BBC iplayer.

Damn - no I said the raffle stopped me from pre-registering.

I was going to pre-register but the raffle happened so I decided to do that.

-----------------------------

Great now I have to wait longer and then pay £199 for the box £40 install and £3 a month.

TAXI....

--------------------------------------

Thanks for registering to be in the running to get one of 1000 TiVo boxes, to enjoy on us for a year.

As much as we’d have loved you to win one, sadly you weren’t successful in securing a free TiVo box in our prize draw.

If you’d like to upgrade to our supercharged TV service, just sit tight. We're launching in April so we’ll be in touch in the coming weeks with an exclusive offer, just for our customers.

So what does that mean...

Sorry matt, I thought you'd pre reg'd... wait and see anyway... might be included.

EDIT: I see it said we'd be in touch, so you should get an email regarding TiVo at some point.

Re: TiVo

So - got the email - can't say I'm happy that we're going to be charged the £40 installation fee.

Considering waiting until the Autumn - especially as I'm a fan of Wimbledon (tennis!) and use the BBC red button facilities to choose which match to watch. From what I understand, the red button isn't yet up and running on the TIVO and may not be until September.

As I wish to wait until a service that I use is activated on the Tivo, will I still be able to get the offer price? I won't be happy if I have to pay £239 when I have chosen to wait until I can have a box that includes the functions I use.

Have been watching this thread with interest for many weeks now and, whilst I understand the frustration of many, and agree that Virgin haven't got it right with the way they dealt with its release, it is only a piece of gadgetry.........
