Second person was very helpful. Confirmed the £64.99 was for both V6s and possibly included both activation fees too.

I was told that my VIP package would go up by £10 a month, so seems they are charging a monthly fee of £5 per box, which I didn't think was too bad.
My loyalty discount also absorbs some of this cost anyway.

Virgin stated our package won't go up as a result. The fees for TiVo remain the same,there is no reason for a £10 charge as the box comes with no additional fees and no hidden charges

"Virgin Media will also undercut Sky on the cost of upgrading. Subscribers to top tier cable packages will not be charges extra, whereas Sky Q introduced a ‘super premium’ package."

Hi Liam. Great news! It's available at no extra monthly charge (unlike the latest boxes from some of our competitors). There is just a small, one-off activation fee of £99.95 (£49.95 if you're on our top TV pack). Mark

I wasn't told there was a 10 pound charge for 2x boxes and just checked and they said my monthly amount won't change . Have you had a email to confirm your order yet ?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

I know why, sorry...It's my setup that changed.

I went from having 1 x Tivo, 1 x V+HD and 2 x VHD boxes, to 2 x V6, 1 x Tivo and 1 x V+HD...my bad...sorry guys.

Like you were told ages ago Sky are charging for UHD whether they advertise it as included or not. VM have none of their own subscription UHD currently so no need to charge.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

£115 would seem to be the correct price for two V6 boxes on the top package as it's 2 x £49.95 + £14.99

I was also confirmed that price for 2 V6s.
Did you register your interest? Are you on higher package? Maybe these could be the factors?
