Yesterday, we wanted to watch the CNN channel but bad pixelation prevented us. I called 150 and had a good chat with the operative who said no technicians could be sent out until the end of May when COVID rules changed.
That's partly true for the case of non-fault issues (the timeline is speculation, the no tech bit is true). But for fault-fixes, that's garbage. You're not the first person to report being told so recently, though.

He advised we wait 24 hours and call back if the situation had not improved. He also advised putting the TiVo into standby mode overnight.
Today, we are having problems with lots of channels including BBC 2. I called 150 again and was informed an Engineer's appointment has been made - but I have no email confirmation nor text.
The standard advice with (the vast majority of) pixellation queries is to reboot your box once - and if problems persist, there is clearly an underlying problem - however long that takes. The use of standby overnight sounds like a red herring to me.
The best way to check tech appointments would be to login to your "my VM" online account and choose the "my appointments" option. I'm fairly sure the 150-IVR should also prompt you for "checking or changing", if you have one outstanding. Unless the agent you spoke to confirmed a date & time with you, I'll wager that nothing will have been booked but will hope I'm wrong.
