Given that I have to lose on demand functionality too, and pay Â£250 for 1.5TB hard disk (WTF?!?) they are having a laugh.

So to those of you thinking of jumping ship to Sky just because this new product is too expensive... the grass isn't greener as far as I can see. Looks like I'll be staying red (although VM CS are making me SEE RED!

)

It's better for some and for others its not depends on your needs.

Copy of an e-mail sent to Neil Beckett this afternoon:

Dear Sir

Being a VIP50 customer, and having pre-registered my interest in the Tivo box,
I was disappointed when I received todays e-mail.

The promise of being able to order be the end of March was not kept.

I think most people were happy to pay the Â£149.00 for the box plus the additional
Â£3.00 per month subscription, but to add another Â£40.00 installation is a bridge too far.

Nor have we received the "new" deal for VIP as promised by Cindy Rose some time ago.

To add salt to the wounds - all the e-mails were addressed to some poor guy called Dean!

I would be grateful for your comments.

Many thanks

I will post any reply I get

My email, which I received this afternoon, was also addressed to Dean, whoever he is

It didn't however mention anything about paying Â£40 installation fee, just said Â£149.00 and an extra Â£3 a month

I've emailed Neil Beckett in the past and I have to say he was very good and actually phoned me personally and made sure the problem I had was addressed the dame day. Seems to me to be a really nice guy

It says in the small print at the bottom about a Â£40 installation charge doesn't it?

Read the small print for the Â£40 installation fee.it is actually quite large to be fair.

You are right, okay on my way to spec savers

I really don't mind to be honest, they aren't forcing us to have the Tivo box so I don't know why people moan so much.

devilincarnate · 31-03-2011, 18:15

Can I just something as i have been thinking ( Before anyone says it I know its a first for me ).
But just to say that you have the XL pack and not had the HD activated, It is included in the price of the TIVO ( As one staff member posted on this thread before ) so in some respects it could be looking as a good deal for some customers. As if this was not the case they would be charged Â£149+Â£49+Â£40 = Â£238 and then Â£3pm.

Just my thoughts?

Having had a whiz through the 10 odd pages since my last post I've only counted 2/3 potential orders and a lot of "nos" and unique nos as well (as well as those people saying no numerous times of course). In the interests of balance are there any other "yes"es out there, step out of the shadows and show yourselves.
