Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Would the £3 Tivo charge cover 2 Tivos at one address or is it charged per machine?

Thanks,

Andy

The TiVo fee is per account

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I received my long awaited email on Tuesday morning after pre-registering very early. I completed the on-line ordering and booked an install slot but still have not received the confirmation email that the web page said would be send immediately. Looks like I'm going to have to call CS and quote the order number to double check the install IS really booked for my first requested slot. If it helps anyone, the FIRST install date I was given was Sat 23rd April, for an on-line order on the 12th.
I think other people that called CS and didn't wait for the email have been given earlier slots than me, but hey that's what you get for waiting like I did. You snooze you lose, I guess.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I gave up waiting for the e-mail, still not got it (I'm on triple XL). Phoned up on Monday and bluffed my way through the call centre, TiVo getting installed tomorrow, woohoo!!

I moved house in December and jumped ship from Sky to VM to get TiVo as it was 'coming soon', just got frustrated waiting around while others were getting install dates.

What I would like to know is if anybody has any info on when the iPad app will be available, or are we in the 'coming soon' waiting game again, with no real date in sight.

Thanks

According to CS, the confirmation emails can take anything up to 48 hours to be sent out. So make a note of the Order Number on the TiVo ordering web page or print the on-screen confirmation before you close the web page!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I got my email yesterday. The earliest date I could get online was the 23rd which unfotrunately is the day I head off for a week so I have booked the instal for a week after that. Reading all the posts about quick installs here I am wondering if it is worth giving them a call to see if they can offer me an earlier date than I could get online. Getting it installed before I go away would be nice.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Having ordered the Tivo and booked an installation date for Friday on the 0800 number does anyone know if I should receive a conformation email for the order and installation?

Many thanks in advance

If they have told you between what time you should receive a call from the engineer on the day to say that they will be there at so and so time ( they did it this way with me ).

No harm in asking, but it may be the earliest appointment for your area.

Just had a call from VM to confirm my install for Friday (or as I like to call it - TiVo Day)!
