It's not a rule, denphone. It's a "flaw" in the billing system.

Sorry, there are a lot of queries in this thread...
What was your last contact with VM about it?

Cheers DF
Appreciate your time
Had the email about 10.00 am on Monday morning rang the number, ordered it, they confirmed the installation date AM on the phone - nothing since

Cheers! I ordered about 5pm on Tuesday and not had confirmation. So if they are doing them in order of receipt, I guess maybe tomorrow I should get the confirmation.

Also the immediate panic and rush might have died down, and the techs hopefully got more experienced at doing the installs, but we still avoid the £40 install fee.
Annoyingly, the date of the install came back as 30 April, which we definitely can't do. What is the point of giving customers a date EARLIER than the one they requested?
(Have subsequently telephoned in and changed to 10th May. Apparently if your requested date is not available, the system automatically schedules in the first available 'free' slot).
Also then mysteriously received an email (in my spam folder) from 'Virgin Media Entertainment' saying "You're in! Your new premium TV channels are on their way" - what is that all about, we already have the Sky Sports / Movies HD selection, and nothing has been changed?

must be going on your TiVo box?

It's such a shame that VM customer service is so poor. The introduction of TiVo shows the company is IMHO a really forward thinking company that has loads to offer customers, but it's let down by the terrible customer service.

I`m in the same posistion as you are, phoned monday after getting email, gave install date over the phone and thats it. Are we supposed to get something else, I`m not sure we need any confirmation but who knows maybe we do.
I`ll find out on tuesday if they turn up or not
No reason why they shouldnt though.

Customer Care can't book TiVo in with the pre-sale offers, only the TiVo sales team can do it.
This is what has caused some issues. I'm sorry you feel our customer support is poor.

As above, only ONLINE bookings will get a confirmation email, you've already got the install booked

Thanks for all the assistance you do give to the forum. This must be driving you as crazy as the rest of us when they've originally told staff one thing and keep moving the goalposts.

Email finally arrived at 4:45pm this afternoon with phone number and unique code.
