Re: Adverts on the Pause Bar

Andy, whilst I can accept your perspective (and understanding) on the matter, I’m afraid I’m unwilling to accept the fact that Virgin appear to be exploiting its' customer base for their own personal gain. It says a lot about how we as customers are perceived by Virgin if that is the case which is a shame.

And yeah, ‘A Clockwork Orange’ is superb

My point is plastered all over this thread; if you can't see it then you're not reading my posts properly. It's not about size, placement or whatever else you're trying to conjure up, it's about principle.

So, you believe that Virgin are using the advertiser's revenue to offset any increase in price that the provision of TiVo costs them and subsequently passing that 'saving' onto us? That's somewhat naive I would suggest.

Your vain attempt at garnishing a retort with this remark only serves to diminish your comments - I stopped reading after it.
