It will, at some stage, be available to TV M+ and TV L customers - the charge will be £8 per month, however, not the £3 per month that TV XL customers enjoy.
That's correct

That causes major problems for me as I am a freelance designer who has a pile of work the week after Easter. Had really hoped to get an installation date next week when things were quieter, but due to very poor service on the telephones, they wouldn't let me order despite me being an authorised user on my husband's account.
Have been patient through all of this, but now I'm not happy.
If someone gets the 23rd in Glasgow, but someone in Sussex also gets 23rd, then it doesn't matter as the install availability is local to you.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Phoned virgin and they confirmed loyalty discount should not have been removed. System went down so have to call me back on thursday. Do virgin media systems always go down. I see there are many on here that did not lose loyalty discounts.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Hi all

If I currently pay £6.50 on M+(Starter), can someone tell me apart from the £149.99 fee for the Tivo box, how much extra will it cost me a month in addition to what I pay now?

...because at the moment Virgin have muddied the waters with the 500GB Baby Tivo and now I don't know weather to wait for that one instead.

I think that the charge will be £8 pm for customers on M+ and L.

You can't get the 1TB TiVo without upgrading to XL

So that would be a total increase of £21 including the £3 TiVo fee

You will be able to get the 500GB TiVo for an £8 a month increase (for the TiVo fee)

Thanks for the quicky reply.

So as I currently pay £5.00 a month for the V+HD Box, in real terms the 500GB Tivo will only be a monthly increase for me of £3?
