Still waiting for TiVo?
Me too. Just got this email from Virgin Media:
Thanks for registering to be in the running to get one of 1000 TiVo boxes, to enjoy on us for a year.
As much as we’d have loved you to win one, sadly you weren’t successful in securing a free TiVo box in our prize draw.
If you’d like to upgrade to our supercharged TV service, just sit tight. We're launching in April so we’ll be in touch in the coming weeks with an exclusive offer, just for our customers.
So, sorry all, no Nialli TiVo review on this blog for another few weeks. Ho hum

Haha, me too. But I'll happily buy this cheap Tivo with half the HDD space in April, if that's still going ahead. Especially if you can keep your existing V+HD box.
I got one to so I'm going with sky 1tb box much beter
so bye bye virgin
Just so you are all aware this has been emailed to 117,000 customers, but I have no idea of what the special offer is
It will be a box for £149 and no activation fee (£40). Brand new customers will have to pay £199 + £40 activation.
I paid £149 for my Tivo last week. Its really clever piece of kit. Loving the HD.
@david: odd decision. You haven't won a free TiVo so you're going for the two tuners for £249 plus installation option rather than VM's three tuners for £149?
Some people a just plain stupid. I would love to know what makes it better
tivo
HD, 1tb, 3 tuners, tivo service, 3D, fuzzy logic, guaranteed for life, dedicated 10mb internal modem, on-demand, £149 and more
Sky HD
£249, 2 tuners, 1 year warranty, 1tb, 3D
nothing else
I can really see the appeal, I think I will ditch VM, my tivo and go back to Sky......
Who the hell am I kidding stuff that, would have to be a complete idiot to even consider it. Sorry David you are a fool
I got this email today at 6pm.
I also got a phone call 10 days ago telling me I was chosen and my Tivo box was installed this past Wednesday.
I called to check this and it seems everyone who signed up has got this email or something, so don't take it as you have missed out just yet.
This whole Tivo layout has been a farce, not to mention the fact that it takes 5 DAYS to fully update and load and people still can't get the 14 day channel guide.
It has so much potential but I question Virgin releasing such a buggy, incomplete product. It would have been best to release it all in one go, fully functional but still giving existing customers the freebie prizes.
It could be the Sky killer if Virgin work it right though.
I've had no communication from VM at all even though I registered on day 1.
oh and@ Square eyes im not stupid
wot sky buter how about 50 HD channels
Can anyone confirm 100% that the smaller hard drive Tivos are definitely coming out?
And if this is the case, do we know when and how much? Not speculation but decent insider info?
Cheers
No email from them today or yesterday.
I spoke to the Customer Relations team who said they were calling people all weekend. So fingers crossed!
Although, they did say that everyone who didn't win got the email saying so. Unfortunatley, they don't have a list they can just check :-(
@STREAKY 7
yes there are 2 smaller version coming out, but as stated no exact dates and costs yet, if you keep an eye VM website or here as soon as the onfo is available you will know.
the 500gb Tivo from what I have heard £49 plus £40 install, but this price is unconfirmed, this bit may be wrong.
As normal as soon as I know - you will
No phone call, no "failed to secure" email and I registered on day one. What to do? I'm hoping I have a free one, but doesn't look likely at the moment!
I am still waiting but I suspect this might be the better option. The TIVO box is a computer and it seems to me that Virgin are doing the standard procedure of putting out some kind of beta version to a small group of customers.
I suspect the general roll-out will be the signal that they have a reasonably stabilised set of software.
