As long as you feel you got value for money then it doesn't matter how much you paid.

We accepted it based on the facts we were told, specifically:
"£149.95 one-off activation fee exclusively for existing customers (everyone else pays £199.95)"
They're right in the fact it was an exclusive price, exclusively more expensive.

The material facts have since changed, everyone else doesn't pay £199.95, everyone else will be paying £99.95, so therefore my acceptance was based on incorrect information, and as such no longer applies.

They have been giving some people the 1TB TiVo for £99 since the 1st of June as I posted on the "Clear one offer for all" thread, post #13 . Those of us who took the early adoption knew that we would probably be paying a price that would be higher than when it went on general release, so no moan about the new prices from me.

Offer available to new or existing customers taking broadband XL or XXL with a phone line; or broadband XL or XXL and M+TV at a minimum with a phone line.

Free installation online offers: 18-month minimum term contract applies. Offer ends 30/09/11. Offer available to new customers buying Broadband L online with at least one other product (TV or Phone), or new customers buying a TV package online which includes Virgin Media TiVo.

How did we? Seeing as VM specifically told us it would be £199.95.

I'l be surprised if they don't stop offering V+HD soon.

We knew because all new products fall in price, agreed I did not expect the price to drop as quickly as it has, I had thought it would have been at least a year before we saw these prices.Yes I feel let down by VM for the way they have treated longstanding customers who preregistered but my point was that we did know the price would drop at some point.

Yeah, I expect the prices to drop in time, I've been an early adopter long enough to know you always get hit in the wallet the most. But this is as soon as it's advertised to the general public and after telling us we were getting a great offer.
It's not even had a run at the price they stated it would be, it's immediately discounted to less than we paid. If it was dropped from the £199.95 to £149.95 like we paid I wouldn't have an issue, I'd just shrug and go "at least I got it early". But it halving in price immediately on it's actual launch? To the point where I've essentially paid £25 a month to have Tivo early? I'm sorry but that's not just a normal price drop, that's a complete **** take.

@ TheDon
You could always give this a try and let us know how you get on.
