This might be why I got confused earlier - I read about the Dear Dean ones, and thought that was the start of Virgin contacting people about ordering an install.

Whereas now I'm thinking the Dear Dean ones were just the latest ones, advising people that they would be able to order from April 11.

Either way, we didn't get that one either.

They should be in touch with an offer of some sort though? I'm the same as Matt and the "Sorry you weren't one of the lucky ones" e-mail did say "We're launching in April so we’ll be in touch in the coming weeks with an exclusive offer, just for our customers."

But we're not new customers, just existing customers upgrading their package. That's what I would have thought anyway.

There doesn't appear to be a minimum length, but "Find Upcoming Programmes" can take a couple of minutes if there are many matches. Not an issue in real life.

I think you have to use * to find plurals etc.
Wow, that is pretty impressive search functionality for a home entertainment product!

i'm in the same boat too so all help on the 11th is welcome!...or actually the 12th, i'm on holiday on the 11th so wont be able to get online/call!

Is it likely the 12th will be too late for me to call and get tivo at the special price?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

DF is it confirmed that I will have to pay full price plus install (£200 +£40 + £3 per month) because I just chose to enter the raffle instead of pre-registering?

And that I will be one of the last to get it when it comes out?
