Re: Sky Atlantic: Rubbish

Unverified reports saying that Virgin have been calling customers to say that TiVo is to shortly be decommissioned (presume they mean the first slow TiVo boxes) and that the V6 only has one year left as the TiVo licence expires then.

Amusingly, some put the phone down assuming it was a scammer . This is what happens when you use staff with the same accent as those that a lot of scammers use.

I've got my 18 monthly haggle coming up soon and would rather keep the V6 TiVo software... Lets see if they give a deadline when I speak to them

To be fair, O2 does label these calls as Suspected Spam. Maybe the Virgin Media side of VMO2 should tell O2 that the calls are genuine.

Funnily enough, most scam callers I get are identifiably British from their regional accents.
