I don't see the "abandon hope all ye who enter" sign on the (newly renovated) support website, either, though there is <a href="http://support.tivo.com.au/index.php?action=ask" rel="nofollow">a form for submitting questions</a>.If you're going to spew FUD, at least make it slightly harder than trivial to debunk.

If you’re going to spew FUD, at least make it slightly harder than trivial to debunk.
