Maybe the customer didn't want to lose his recordings.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
I got a lucky day email as well, but still haven't had a confirmation email of the order. Placed the order yesterday afternoon, Does say in the order tracking that I am being upgraded and the date, but that's all. I assume there is no other way to check the order?

Considering the v6 has no modem, so no upstream power level, you may not need your HDU

There are certain discount codes that wont allow a 200Meg upgrade, you will be on a discount that is stopping the 200meg upgrade happening

I just got a receipt email, no lucky day one.
I guess the thing to remember here is that Virgin haven't actually formally announced that it can be ordered yet as far as I can see? So maybe everything is not in place yet? The only reason I knew about being able to order it is because I looked on this forum. This was the first V6 order the lady I spoke to today had done (she was very helpful though)

After placing my order for 2 x V6s, which will replace the 2 x VHDs, the price will go to £122. A difference of £10 because of the monthly fee between VHD and Tivo is £5 a month - x 2 = £10. Which I have the confirmation email as well.
Hope this helps?

Just wondered why they were charging you £10 extra but you have 4 boxes so makes sense now.
I'm still none the wiser to how mine and your 2x V6 boxes comes to £64.94. I'm

I'm still not sure either, it's really strange. I have checked with them and they are positive 2 boxes will be installed. Plus they will be charging me for 2 boxes on my monthly bill too so I guess I'll have to wait and see lol

The article says "for future developments".
IIRC the original TiVo launched with only two tuners, with the third being activated later.

Ordered the Tuesday evening, e-mail didn't arrive until late Sunday evening.
I got my v6 boxes ordered, but only after been told 3 different prices, twice being told my contract would go up.
After 2 hours with the online chat I finally got a price in line with other people £114 for 2 boxes and no contract increase.
Not being installed until Jan though
|
I'd check the actual contract extremely carefully if I were you...
