BREAKING NEWS


VM have spent 3.2 million pounds trawling the forums and interweb to find out which subscribers are the biggest trouble makers / complainers.

They have used the same group (Anonymous) who haked Mastercard etc to obtain info that will lead to identifying who we are....:shocked:


The plan is to knobble VOD and BB at awkward times and slow rollout to these "agent provocators" as a form of punishment.....


A VM spokeman when asked if the money could have been better spent on free TiVo's for their best customers replied "Yes I suppose so but this is so much more fun"


Thats it I am now in full Toy / Pram / tossing mode :2up:

Thanks Stuart, sorry new to this site.. just getting used to it :)

So sounds as if the odds of getting a prize in this raffle are quite slim, anyone want to guess the odds? ;)

Loads of people have contacted Tivo saying please change your mind or tell us how we can receive EPG data some other way etc.

All they have replied with is move to Virgin and you will be happy again. Lots of people not in cabelled areas or not wanting XL TV etc.
They have upset quite a lot of very loyal long standing customers it seems.

There was the option to purchase a lifetime sub for £200 rather than the £10 a month also. I have the lifetime sub but basically in the T&C's it can be ended within 30 days of notice from Tivo.

I've had it for 9 years so had my money's worth but does seem a shame to end their service just because they are now tied in with Virgin.

Does that apply to S1 customers who don't live in a cabled area, or indeed a cabled area that isn't served by VM but someone like say Smallworld or all S1 customers?

Shame if it does apply to all customers but lets face it getting 9 years out of a piece of kit isn't bad going these days but would I be right in assuming the subscriber numbers are pretty low anyway, they only sold around 35,000 S1 didn't they so I wonder how many are still in use anyway.

At least the original customers are being considered years after it was removed from sale.

That explains the contractual requirement to VM, regarding S1 owners.

I beileve S1 owners have recieved a message from TiVo?
