Do you honestly think it should be free when no one else can offer such a service as that.

I think it will be too late for me though. They collect my 3 tv boxes on the 15th of March and I'm not cancelling my cancelation in the hope I get Tivo free. Although free Tivo would keep me as a VM tripleplay customer.

I'm not interested at all in Tivo if I have to pay.
Do you feel the same about the Sky +HD 1Tb box?

I have an opinion on wether it should be free or not. I'm not going to pay for it an thats why I'M OUT. lol..

I will probably get it in a year or so as I've just signed a new 12 month contract for skyHD with multiroom. By then it will probably be really refined work perfectly. Something fo rme to look forward to perhaps.(probably be free aswell)

I have a 1tb sky box I just opened my existing sky box which was free and put a 1tb drive in it. Look its all about perceived value, if the user thinks it is worth £XXXX they will pay.

Quite unlikely as only recently the V+ went down to £49 for the first box and £99 for the second so if you think TiVo will ever be free after that example then I expect you will have a very long wait.

You obviously were not happy then,however VM do offer a 28 day money back guarantee if you were not happy surely you would have cancelled before.? you do seem to have a gripe but now you have cancelled that is the end of the matter without the need to be so bitter.

This is the thing I'm not actually bitter and sing VM's praises for there BB. I was peeved with VM over a period of a week or 2 but thats history now.

They give me a great BB service and if I want there TV I only have to cancel my "cancellation" and I'm more than happy paying £37 for phone and 50mb BB.

Your just going to have to accept I will post good and bad comments about VM the same way I tell the world Sky's SD picture quality is disgustingly awful.Well under par lol

There is mention of it in the TiVo thread.

thats just another example of VM's poor roll out .. they just have not looked professional at all IMHO

not sure who the target is for the pop-ups but i havent had it yet ... just two emails - 1 in December after registering and a second last week saying enjoy the wait till end of March ... didnt say anything about any lucky draws or possibly being contacted before then just tough cheese enjoy the wait

not that im gonna pay for tivo anyway but as a VIP50 customer who registered on day 1 i expected to at least have had more than 1 email by now

have already been asked to seriously consider returning to sky by the family and although im resisting its getting tougher fight the family off
