I made one final call last night to check the price and the CS girl told me I would be paying Â£100.55.

Am I right in thinking that this should cost around Â£107 per month + Â£150 Tivo + Â£50 for the v+?
Alternatively, come May, would the option of two 500gb Tivos & 1 V+ cost Â£107 per month + Â£100 for 2 500gb tivos + Â£40 install be available, or would the charge for a second Tivo likely be higher & the Â£3 per month be applied to the second box?

Not sure whether they'd want you to pay 2 install fees or not if you took the latter option. But from what's been said in other threads the Tivo Â£3 charge is per account so having 2 Tivo's wouldn't incur any additional monthly charges.

I think the first option would cost Â£107.05 (Â£6.50 for additional box) so yeah you were accurate enough with your estimation. Should be same monthly price for both options I think.

Thanks for the reply Rjs37. I was under the impression that the installation charge was basically a charge for the visit & if you were having a few changes made you just paid the one charge, could well be wrong though.

I'd have thought it more likely that VM might charge more for a second box than Â£50 though. 2 x 500gb Tivos and an existing V+ for Â£140 install seems a much better deal to me than 1 1tb Tivo & 2 V+s for Â£200 - I'm sure a spanner will be thrown in the works before the 500gb box is released.

This should be Â£100.55. Ben will confirm?

1st bit: I'm really not sure what their stance is on installs. But technically speaking with that second option they're installing two boxes. So it's whether they see it like that or if it's just a flat rate for the one visit.

2nd bit: Does seem a bit weird but it's just how it works. Long term they'll be wanting people to go over to Tivo anyway so more installs now means less down the line. I think alot of people in your situation would already have the 2 V+'s so in that situation the install for first option would just be the Â£150. And then the difference is pretty minimal.

Bang on with your prices, Ben. New Tivo and a reduction of Â£6 pm. The Â£149 will pay for itself in 25 months. That's what I call a result!

It's a flat rate.

VIP50 with V+ is also Â£100.55 isn't it? - that's how I read it on the website anyway.

Yes that is correct as you get a V+HD and a V-HD box.

But the customers at the moment who are VIP50 and have got the TIVO for Â£149 are able to have the TIVO and the V+ for the same price (Â£100.55 )
