TiVo : General TiVo Discussion Part 3

[DaMac]

p.s. Carl, why do you doubt that VM cs wouldn't let him take one of the new packages? They are extremly difficult people to deal with, not everybody has the energy to go to rententions and pretend they are leaving, All packages should be available to all customers not currently on a contracted deal.

And as far as I know - and according to their TV ads and web site - they are.

Not exactly true. All they were doing was modifying the epg to display correctly while watching 3D content. ie the time bar when playing VOD content.

I'm sure there may be a grain of truth to it as, let's face it, the ad wouldn't necessarily work if DT hadn't been in DW. But I don't for one second think the BBC are in any way as bothered about it as the Daily Wail makes-up... I mean... makes-out.

This is the "news"-paper with the clear anti-BBC agenda, don't forget!

I have just worked this one out, and found that VM have been a bit sneaky in the way they run Tivo. And for weeks l have been having an argument with my wife that we can get Tivo for free.

Just seen the small print in the deal, If you want Tivo 250 hours, it is free to install but you pay £49.95 for activation WHY, if you have cable already, all it is just to connect etc.

If you want the 1TB box You pay £49.95 for install and then £5.00 per month the same as the 250 hour one.

Whatever one you get you still have to pay £49.95 for the install, yet IF you are joining VM its Free altogether, VM have a good way to make money, you just make the customer confused. If you look at the page it tells you the above, but in the small print (which people quite often DON'T read it tells you the cost).
