Well then they have won because you have allowed them to browbeat you into submission.

Why not comeback renewed and just let it just wash over you as you are stronger than that.

I have come back stronger after time away due to some personal reasons. But I have come back with a worse attitude so I do need to be careful. As i would get done if I say what I really think.

It may be but I go from this?

Quote:
Collins: English Dictionary Definition (Meaning) of
browbeat
vb (-beating, -beat, -beaten)
to frighten (someone) with threats,
So the second part could mean submission?
And this as well?

verb (used with object), -beat, -beat·en, -beat·ing.
to intimidate by overbearing looks or words; bully: They browbeat him into agreeing.

Very Happy.

Had Tivo installed yesterday and V+ moved to daughters bedroom. Price has dropped by ~£4.50, and no more 21 year old moaning that she wants to watch [instert name of inane TV series here]. Internet troubles have resulted in £20 credit so the cost was offset too.

So all in all I'm very happy. Mrs Grim however maybe isnt.... after about an hour of setting up series links and wish lists she sounded like some of the negative Tivo bashers on here and other forums and I must admit some of her comments could have some basis (don't tell her I've said that:D). Telling her an update was coming seemed to make her happier than offering her an extra £4.50 a month to spend on shoes:shrug:

Cheers
Grim

On your (or more specifically your wife's point),surely as TiVo is first and foremost a PVR then basic recording should be both simple and straight forward,much as some people on here will hate to here this but with Sky HD if you highlight a program to record you get two simple options 1. Record Once or 2.Record Series, that's it! simples!,unless this super duper "update" that is being heralded for the TiVo changes the way recordings are performed as well as a multitude of other things then I for one will stick with the V+HD box and Sky HD.

ps this is not a VM/TiVo bashing post but is based on my feelings after having and then sending my TiVo back due to my disappointment with it based on previous reviews before I ordered it.

Very poor, I believe - VM's dismissal of what I deem the best channel out there as 'not must have' really irked.

Couple this with their desire for gadgetry (tivo, spotify and the like) over channel acquisition is extremely annoying.

Why shouldn't customers bash VM if they don't feel they're getting value for their money?
