TiVo Tension Symptoms:
- Close proximity to landline/mobile phone.
- Eagerness to stay wake 24/7 until Virgin TiVo teams calls.
- Depression until phone rings - if call isn't from Virgin, then depression is followed by anger which is followed by depression.
- Large periods of the day spent looking at TiVo screenshots and the phone.
- Breakdown in existing relationship between customer and existing Virgin Media STB.
- Sick days off work just to be next to landline phone at home during work hours.
- Creation of new threads on various forums demanding to know why Virgin haven't phoned you yet.
- Random vocal outbursts to no-one in particular, examples below:
- "PHONE ME ALREADY!"
- "THEY CALL THIS COMMUNICATION!??!"
- "WHY HAVEN'T THEY PHONED ME!??"
- "I REGISTERED FIRST! THEY SHOULD HAVE PHONED ME FIRST!"
- "I'M GONNA GOTO SKY IF VIRGIN DON'T PHONE ME!"
- "WHAT'S TAKING THEM SO LONG?"
- "PHONE ME, DAMN-IT!"
- "I WANT MY WISHLISTS AND I WANT THEM NOW!"
- "TYPICAL VIRGIN, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR TV SERVICE!"
TiVo Tension Cure:
- A TiVo. If that isn't available then the following is recommended until a TiVo is confirmed as being available:
- Lager
- Wine
- Good Food
- Long walks
- Sex
- A Holiday, which should include Sex if possible.
If symptoms persist after Virgin phone you
and install a TiVo, please consult your local GP.
