You are quite correct in what you say. But I have explained my position in posts 212 and 220. My entire purpose is to help others, but when every word I post is ripped to pieces by irresponsible, arrogant and experienced posters who should know better, I cannot tolerate such treatment on a technical discussion Forum.

So I now consider "mission successfully completed" and will leave this thread.

If I have any more TiVo questions, I will make use of another appropriately suitable thread.

I do sincerely thank those posters who helped me tremendously in initially explaining TiVo, such that I went for it and of course those who gave me constructive comments with the irritating automatic Standby shut-off problem.

so I will bid you all Adieu.

Wittmann reminds me of a customer I had a while back, as soon as I entered the house she was ranting that she had no tv for 3 days and was going to sky! Anyway as I went to look at her Tivo box it was obvious it was getting no power, right enough it wasnt plugged in. As soon as I plugged it in the tivo started to work.

So, I showed the customer it working expecting her to be a little embarrassed and grateful that virgin don't charge for call outs, especially as she was ranting about going to sky. But no, instead she complained the guy on the phone never told her to check it was plugged in! :facepalm

Some people always try to blame other folk no matter what and wont listen.

Could not resist this irresponsible post. Typical of the utter rubbish that has been posted on this thread and typical of many limited intelligence Virgin "screwdriver, socket and plugs" engineers that we are unfortunate enough to have call on us.

I was keeping an eye on the thread as a guest just for interest, but if this is the kind of brainless trash that will be posted, I will now gladly forget it.

Since every post I issue is treated as an Aunt Sally in a coconut shy, to throw all kinds of personal insults at, or pick every word to pieces like some laboratory frog, I will be brief.

Life is now so good and full of admiration for Virgin and the CEO team.

Auf Wiedersehen.


You don't have the balls or the brains to admit you were wrong! You're TV is probably black and white, get a life eh!.........:nutter::nutter::nutter:

Technical interplay and exchange of opinions and data - yes. But not to be treated like some punctured football to be kicked around and insulted.

So you don't even feel the need to inform the people who have helped you along the way, as to what finally fixed the problem?

I find that rather disappointing and, if you don't mind me saying so, a little discourteous.

Is it me, or has this thread just turned into wittman successfully trolling everyone? It seems he just pops up now and again just to flame the fires.

I'm glad he got his problem fixed, but this seems a little silly now.

He reminds of this pompous so and so called Len I had the misfortune to meet once in Bedford. He was an arrogant know it all too.

The trouble with guesting to be nosey, is one of frustration and reading insane personal rubbish from Mad Max and Co. Mad Max ? An excellent username or is it your real name ? I feel like Alice in Wonderland faced with The Mad Hatter.

You see Mad Max, if you can possibly take the mental strain and attempt to understand analogies, think of it this way -

Like Davy Crockett at the Alamo, Wittmann has also been battling against great odds, where instead of bullets the ammunition has been Wittmann`s superior intelligence and literary skills against nasty remarks, insults, incorrect suppositions and insane outbursts of yours.

But Alas, unlike poor old Davy Crockett who lost, Wittmann won.
Sorry Mad Max, you can`t win `em all. Now behave yourself, be a good boy and see if you can help people instead of writing insulting rubbish.

It is unbelievable that such an obnoxious character has survived since 2012 making highly abusive and insulting posts. You must have some good friends in high places who can bend the Forum rules.

I have always found it an easy pushover dealing with foul mouthed, insulting and limited intelligence people like you.

Here we go again, another mad tantrum from Mad Max.

In my younger days I was told not to mock the afflicted or tease and upset the Village Idiot.

So Mad Max, enjoy your uncontrollable and obnoxious tantrums, keep taking the pills and I promise - Scouts Honour - to leave you alone in perfect peace, to throw your toys and abuse around just as you wish. One thing is certain, it is impossible to argue with an idiot.

I have a great idea.

Forget old Wittmann for a while, all that delightful fixation of pure hatred can wait till next week, he`ll still be there.

Enjoy your Easter, munch that chocolate Easter egg and play with that fluffy Bunny Mummy gave you.

A Happy Easter to you all.
