Is that what you got? If so there may not be an order code?
This was placed on another forum from an email:

Sorry, late to the Email-Dispatch party but...that quote implies that the 500Gb version is available to existing customers only.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Ugh. Didn't get the email today. Haven't gotten anything like the 1000 lucky ones with the remote, or the raffle, bleh. Had a carp day today too. You see, I had to eat only carp fish for dinner. It was bleh.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
So, with everyone phoning and making install bookings before getting the email.....will there be any April installation slots left for us patient people? 
And why are VM accepting these booking requests over the phone? If that's the case, they might as well said 'phone this number now to book your installation!'

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Probably not - but then again, it's a TiVo, not a major organ transplant; we'll live....

Been waiting for that new organ for 4 months now you know! 
My body suffers from Pre-HD Withdraw and is only able to deal with 20 hours of HD at any one time. I need this organ NOW or I'm complaining to the NHS, and then Virgin.

Yes, that's correct. It will be made available to new customers later.

Account holder expected back in the next 10 minutes!

Don't worry - spoke to the sales team half an hour ago.
Have upgraded to VIP50 and TiVo - install is happening on Saturday afternoon (in 5 days times). Must say I was mighty impressed by the install date and another "very nice lady" who was very clear and concise.
She also added a note to the account authorising myself (as well as the actual account holder) to make changes.

Not really, more like people being chancers and blagging their way and queue jumping.
Thanks to forums though, they are now aware of the methods used and there shouldn't be any more queue jumping.
