But what about people in areas that can't get Caller ID, would they get a discount on their VIP charges or have to pay for something they can't get

Thanks, Ben.

I'm on VIP 50 and been quoted £112 for 2 x V+ and Tivo. Do you think I am overcharged at this price?

I'm VIP 50, soon to have 1 x Tivo and 1 x existing V+, and I was quoted £105.60. I haven't seen that price mentioned anywhere.

I've just upgraded my package from BB XXL, TV XL and Phone XL + Sky Sports HD to VIP50 and ordered Tivo. I was quoted £100.55 for 1 x Tivo and 1 x existing V+. Just an extra £1.76/ month (+£149 for the box). Install is on 21st April. Thanks VM!

Well I'm happy now any way saved £10 a month with the price changes

I was quoted 107.55 for VIP50 but with two V+ boxes and a tivo though ben says it should be 105.55.

Will wait for the bill and see

Also I always find it best to sort out these problems is to phone 150 and press the one for thinking of leaving us as you always get English and someone that's knows more lol

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

Yes, it should be £110.55 for that

---------- Post added at 22:16 ---------- Previous post was at 22:14 ----------

Just to be clear here

VIP 50 with TiVo is £100.55. Shouldn't matter whether the extra box is a V+ HD or V HD or V Box.

VIP 100 is £110.55, and the same applies

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

£100.50 + £6.50 for having a third box + £5 for not paying via D/D

So should be £112.05. Maybe another £1.50 for a Paper Bill?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

So if I'm supposed to pay £100.50 for VIP50 with Tivo and an extra box why am I having to pay £105.60. I have never seen so many different prices for the same product

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

Once again, if you are being quoted a different price that £100.55 for VIP 50 with TiVO and the included additional box only and you are on D/D and Ebill then something has gone wrong

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

Don't know if anyone has answered this - I've had a look through this & the Tivo thread but might have missed it.
I'm on VIP50, & was thinking about getting Tivo installed, & the V+ moved to the room that we currently have a standard v box in. In addition to this I was thinking about adding an additional v+ box (1 1tb Tivo & 2 V+).
Am I right in thinking that this should cost around £107 per month + £150 Tivo + £50 for the v+?
Alternatively, come May, would the option of two 500gb Tivos & 1 V+ cost £107 per month + £100 for 2 500gb tivos + £40 install be available, or would the charge for a second Tivo likely be higher & the £3 per month be applied to the second box?
