Hey all - I too have been getting these calls on a company line at least twice a day!!! It is truely irritating, however I did contact TVO themselves at 1-+1 800-613-0513 and hit 0 and they informed me that they have another company that handles their telemarketing. The lady that picked up informed me that she could take my number and the number that is calling and get it taken off the list.

We shall see if this fixes the problem, if not guess i am calling back and contacting management (or someone posing as management!)

My friend if you are making a recording, your tel. should be turned off, and any extraneous noises avoided like refrigerators, heating systems, noisy disc drives in the same room,  etc. I would also put a sign on the front door asking people to not knock or ring the doorbell etc.   If there are others living in the same space, I would also manage this issue too, and if need be hire a babysitter or give people money to eat out at a restaurant so they need not make noise at home.

repeated calls from this number. hangs up when we answer

I am sick to death of calls from this number   Have just discovered it is TV Ontario.  They should identify themselves.  It is a cause worth supporting, which I do, but have now asked them not to call me.  Their telemarketing strategy needs to be improved.

I'm a musician and was doing a recording session in my home studio.  I was in the middle of a REALLY good take involving vocals when the phone rang, spoiling the take, and it was this number--showing up on the phone display not only as the number that was being called from, but also in the "caller name" field.  If it's truly TVO who called, they ought to be ashamed of themselves, since they of all people should know better than to disrupt an audio (let alone video!) production session.  Granted, they couldn't have *known* I was in the middle of a recording session, but couldn't they have anticipated that I *might* be?
