That was precisely what happened in my case. The TiVo never downloaded anything to the epg before the day that it was installed. Hence the full week before I had seven days backward EPG.

But if you ring up today you should get free install. Tomorrow, the install will be £40.

Yes but there is someone who is claiming that they have been advised by Virgin Media when trying to order today with free install that there is a better offer coming tomorrow!

Can you honestly see that though ? There would be a lot of pipped off pre reg customers.

Exactly my sentiment from my earlier post #3120. I would be very annoyed, having pre-registered and waited patiently with a promise of a treat.

You would have every right to be , I wouldn't worry it's probably some idiot posting nonsense.

Sunday would also be a strange day for something like that too.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Has any thought about actually reading the post on Digitalspy that has todays date on it.

New Tivo offer tomorrow?
I phoned yesterday to order the 1tb Tivo, it was suggested that I call back tomorrow as there is a better offer to be had. Anyone?
|
That means that they called yesterday Friday 29th April and they were advised to call back today Saturday 30th April.
By the way I was in work earlier and saw no mention of a special Saturday offer for TiVo, I may be wrong though.
