Second hand Tivo box - any problems to switch from V+ Recorder box?

[deefadog]

Hi,

I currently have Virgin V+ box and i have been offered the new Tivo box form a friend in work who bought the box 8 months ago for £80 from Virgin.

If i get this box is it a straight swap over, will the card work the same or will i have to contact Virgin - Will there be a charge?

I currently have the XL Package with Sports.

Thanks for any help.

The box is property of virgin media, it cannot be traded.

The box also requires a paired and activated card. If you want TiVo, you will have to get one from virgin media.

Really? so you can't be second hand?

The box was never 'bought; from Virgin. They always belong to Virgin. There is no such thing as a 'second hand' VIRGIN Tivo box..
