I work for VM and because of a few on here i will not post anything that has anything to do with VM, It not worth the abuse and bad abusive Pm's when you say something that the few don't like to hear or agree with and they know who they are ;)

That is a very wise decision, I am sure most people a very grateful for the technical help that staff provide and IMO that is what they should stick to.:D

Agree fully, Unfortunately there are a few who still see this site as a rant site and cannot post anything else other than that. You never see helpful posts from them, They don't join in the debate in other areas they just rant and rant and rant, Can get boring reading there posts in the end :LOL:

I understand customers get annoyed, hell i do some times but to rant about it for weeks and weeks must make them ill in the end. :rolleyes:

See here a long post just posted a snip-it http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb...d.php?t=468512

"Red button functions will be more app orientated. By the time the 2012 Olympics start we hope to gave users an option of 24 different events VIA the 'BBCi app' - 2012
Multi files for Mum, Dad, Gran etc so only shows enjoyed by a certain family member will appear in these personal files.
Sky sports red button will not be available on TiVo until late 2011 early 2012 however will be available next month on V+ and V boxes."

People actually take time to send abusive PM's about VM??? Wow, just realised why I haven't bothered posting in here for ages. That's quite sad actually, I feel sorry for ya mate.

You should have downgraded your TV service to free M and waited of an offer to upgrade to XL for half price for 6 months to come along.

That would have meant keeping the phone line muppetman11,as it is i will use my mobile for calls (inclusive minuets) and freeview for tv i have decided pay tv is just not worth the effort or expense .:)

You may well be right , my main reason for having Sky is sport , without that I would be possibly making the same decision as you.

Calling them liars is totally inappropriate, and reflects more on your attitude than their efforts, imho.

l might have a go at Virgin but l will not knock any forum members its as simple as that.
