Not their fault they are employed by VM! You try explaining TV billing or problems with your red button in Hindi or Urdu and see how you get on.
They try their best but when English isn't your first language I doubt it's easy!

Then speak to VM and ask them not to outsource their call centres to foreign countries, not call those people "clowns".

LOL I knew you'd pick up on that. I didn't mean to imply you did fella! Just making the point.

Re: sky sports red button
I had the letter come through the post yesterday and I don't subscribe to Sky Sports. I can confirm it does say what the OP stated about the red button with an asterisk which states "coming to Tivo boxes soon". I'll try to upload a picture if I can find it.
---------- Post added at 10:42 ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 ----------
Found it! (It was in the bin, so sorry about the stains).

There was an accompanying letter too. So as you can see from the pictures, the leaflet is targetted towards those not currently subscribing to Sky Sports and you shouldn't be surprised that you haven't received one yet.
