If they happen on VM, or any other utility or service (except council tax and water, as there is a lack of competition in those areas...), I do two things -
a) check out the competition to see if I can get a better deal from them
b) if not, ask myself (and my better half) if we want/need the amount of services we are getting, and if not, reduce them, but if we do (and can afford it), pay up.
No need to get fraught, upset, annoyed, or very angry, because if one does, you are only upsetting yourself and those around you, as the large companies don't, to put it bluntly, give a toss.

Indeed - at the end of the day, Virgin Media is a company, not a charity to provide free services. If the TiVo box licence costs them £3, and they're paying £3 to TiVo then they need to increase their margin.
At the end of the day - we're not paying additional for HD channels as Sky charges.
I get annoyed about fuel increases, but it still goes up by leaps and bounds
