360 box deleting recordings.

For the third time now, my VM 360 box has deleted all recordings and planned recordings, had stored 77% of hard drive and lost everything!!  The 1st time was when I soft reset the box because there was a 2 second delay on the remote control functions. Posted this because it is so difficult and time consuming to get through to an actual person. I need help.

 

  • If the 360 is deleting your recordings and planned recordings it's a sign that the box is faulty, especially if it's done it more than once. You can either call Virgin on 150 from a Virgin phone, mobile or landline, or 0345 454 1111 from any other phone to report a fault, or wait here for one of the forum team to pick this up which might be 2 to 3 day's.

    When phoning choose the option to report a fault, then ignore all the options offered and hopefully you should then be placed into a queue to speak to someone.

    You could also try a factory reset of the 360, and if you haven't got any recordings you might as well go for the format disk option and if or 'when' the box deletes everything again then phone Virgin.

    They might suggest you set the Auto delete option to off, it probably already is and shouldn't affect planned recordings but you can check by doing the following;

    Press Home > Recordings > Recorded > View All > Manage Storage > Enter your pin > Auto delete when space needed > Set to Off.
