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.

In you come......lol, btw you look nothing like the wonderful Alice, now where is that rod of mine??? Jeez ur so easy!!!!!!!!
I don't think the above merits being called a tantrum, a bit dramatic don't you think Fred? :D
Oh and btw, why don't you have the decency to inform the very nice and helpful people on here as to what fixed the problem with your TV, I mean anyone with a sense of decency would at least have the good grace to reply with your findings.

Many thanks....:)

Stephen, quite right. It is getting out of hand and dissolving into a shambles. It would be nice if you could clean up the thread and delete all the personal off-topic posts, including mine. I am obliged to reply to direct insults, it is my right, but I dislike every minute of confrontation. It is not why I joined the Forum. But a man`s gotta do what a man`s gotta do.

I have successfully got what I wanted from the thread, thanks to a few serious helpers, it has now generated into a bash Wittmann facility.

A clean up will make it readable for other casual viewers.

You still ignore the question of many on here, maybe that's why you get people's backs up! Why don't you address the issue you first served up in the thread, and that was to help you resolve your problem with the TV, so come on, tell the people what resolved the problem.

Nice to know you've got what you want - pity you can't be decent enough to post what the problem/resolution was so other people might also benefit - please don't post again asking for help, you won't get it

Of course he will get it. People have been very helpful in this thread despite his attitude.

I know people have been helpful despite his attitude - whether they will be again remains to be seen.

Not all posters have your attitude. If I do need further help, rest assured I don`t want yours.

Digital Spy also provide excellent help for people in need. I do not have to endure being bombarded with personal abuse and insults posted by arrogant self appointed know-alls throwing their weight about, simply because they have a million posts and very little else to offer.

This on going saga is better than the politicians TV debate.

Mad Max 04-04-2015 14:46

Re: TiVo
 
So i'll ask again, what resolved your problem?

Don't you think if the problem had been the TiVo, the OP would have been quite voluble in stating that?

Maybe so, but that's not the point is it Hugh? He should at least have the decency to admit, if he was wrong that is, rather than just ignore the calls for an answer, obviously not man enough to tell us!

We do have a history of newbies picking the brains of the forum and then never having the courtesy of letting us know how their problems were ultimately resolved so nothing out of the ordinary. I also can't remember one being so reluctant to carry out simple tests, or becoming so belligerent whilst insisting that they know better than than those forum members who spend their working lives sorting out such problems.

Good job we don't have that many transient members or the VM staffers who come on here, in their own free time, could just decide to not bother. I tip my hat to those who do keep coming back to try to help and as Hugh says I doubt that this member had his problem solved in quite the manner he expected.
