Title: That bloody digital message
Post by: Pastis on October 18, 2011, 06:38:23 PM
Ok, the digital TV switch over in London is April next year. Fine. All sorted.

It seems that every night now we are subject to a reminder message  ~  Press Blue to find out more; press yellow to delete this message. Is this going to be a daily occurrence? Six months' worth of daily reminders?

 Angry9: Angry9:

If Digital's so bloody clever why can't they accept the fact that we know and stop the reminders?   evil: evil:

DO NOT get me started about this utter utter utter utter utter pure 100% unmitigated bladder bursting shite that they call 'progress' Explode:

I absolutely loathe and destest it beyone even my wildest of nightmares.
Hated it when it before it started, as it started, after it started ,and now feel the utter hatred and dispicablenussnuss towards it as it reaches out for  unbelievable new previously unchartered depths of disgust anger and pure disbelief and despair. Explode:

Never mind that condecending shite, it has ALL been a total and utter waste of time effort patience and money, and as far as I'm concerned they can stick their rancid shitty digital tv shite so far up their fat stinking arse holes, that it'll shine out of their fat greedy gobs.
I'll contribute with the insertion of my shitty digi box too. Angry9:

I think my feelings towards digi tv have been well documented over the last couple of years tbh.
It's an absolute disgrace and farce. Even the original cavemen would laugh at it in disgust. cussing:

I remember the b&w tv we had when I was a nipper, complete with VALVES cloud9:  took less time to warm and fire up and show a clearer picture than this so called progressive  happy001  ::)  shit ridden garbage.
I despise it wholeheartedly. sick2:

More to the point, if you get the 'blue button' message, haven't you already got digital?

I and Snoops probably am entitled to have a man in for free to make the switch.  I had a letter about it months ago it came with a SAE and you ticked the yes or no box.  I ticked the no box and dutifully said paper back.  Sorted.

A month or so later I received a letter telling me that I could have a man in for free to make the switch. It came with a SAE and you ticked the yes or no box.  I ticked the no box and dutifully said paper back.

About a month later  I received a letter telling me that I could have a man in for free to make the switch. It came with a SAE and you ticked the yes or no box.  I ticked the no box and dutifully said paper back.

I was somewhat pissed off by the waste of money and time so phoned the company and told them.

A month or so later I received a letter telling me that I could have a man in for free to make the switch. It came with a SAE and you ticked the yes or no box. I threw it in the bin.

In all I think that I have had 7 letters from them the latest arrived only a couple of weeks ago. Banghead Angry9:

If it is an SAE then fill it up with dog shite and send it back!  :thumbsup:

It obviously won't stop them coming but it will be more satisfying than just throwing them in the bin...  whistle:

I'm just waiting for them to switch back over to my mate Anna Log  cloud9: when they realise that they've made a complete and utter utter bollox of the whole sad mess, and the fact that it WAS a retrograde step back into the cats whiskers days.
