By that analogy so are Sky as they lost them too

However most of the programming off those channels got shared out onto living and others.

You may be right I'm not sure however I know MTV Classic is still available on Sky , Talk Talk TV and UPC Ireland.

Them channels you listed were closed by BSKYB Den and the content was put on other channels for example Hawaii Five O was meant to be aired on Bravo and was transferred onto Sky One , Chuck was on Virgin One and was transferred to Living.

Most if not all RENTAL companies do not charge for delivery - fitting etc. Its in there interest to make sure its done correctly.

Someone has to pay though, so the only other thing is putting the monthly subs up or charging for callouts? VM is a business, not a registered charity

i pre-registered when tivo was first announced and got one of those tickets in the post a few months later and registered the code and to this day STILL havent received any offer at all regarding TIVO for either the 1TB or 500GB box. Thats VIP service!! a friend of mine is on xl tv and got the tivo offer email the first day.

So charge for delivery ( I can get the box delivered for Â£6.50 by courier).Or allow customer to collect. You have shops & local depots

But I still go back to all these costs should & my guess is ,were part of the business plan.

Call outs:- The whole point of renting is that if it goes wrong its down to the supplier. So if its a fault no charge.That should be part of the business model. If not SACK the people whom worked it out, as clearly they are not up to the job .

I surpect that it is more along these lines ( Well every business will try this) . How to increase our revenue stream.

We have costed for supply & fit BUT lets see if some "silly" people will pay AGAIN for delivery & setup. OMG there are lots ( including me for V+ at the special offer rate at the time

). Ok Do it again.

and look it works. Even if the product ( & I cannot judge on this) is not the next holy grail of TV viewing.

You can't self install TiVo, no way... are you going to go to the DP to adjust signal levels etc?
