CS9996 Returning Customer
Returning to VM from Sky this week. My boxes already there one in small bedroom upstairs and other by TV in lounge.
Got it to work OK eventually. However I don't run my broadband/hub 24/7 only on when on PC. Viewing TV keep getting "oops " not connected and recorded programmes I have to hit the 3 dots on remote to access. When hub on no problem, is there anyway to stop this message in setting?
Hub is staying where it is and will not be on 24/7 for info.

Past topics on here have discussed the merits (or not) of turning the hub off overnight.
The current range of VM's TV boxes require VM broadband to work. VM's telephone landline-via-hub connection also requires the hub to be on to receive landline calls. Some of the latest devices for heating controls and security cameras may also require a 24/7 broadband connection.
A few running costs calc's are below
A Hub 3 running 24/7 will cost something in the region of £25 to £30 p.a. at Oct 2024 electricity price cap rates.
