360 Does Not Record

I tried to record - it says Virgin TV1 is offline, or not connecting. Turn it on to check if your recording was scheduled' - not sure what I should be turning on.  I cant see what could be offline as I can stream Disney, Netflix etc

i have v6 box do i need set that up somewhere else

    Hi icemist74 

    You've posted in the TV360 forum but mention a V6 box?

    Which box do you have? https://www.virginmedia.com/care/tv-fault/which-tv-box 

    Do you have more than one set top box? If so and they both TV360 boxes then one may be a main box which has the hard drive for recording purposes, and the other may be a mini box which is half the height of the main box as it doesn't contain  a hard drive for recordings.

      I upgraded our V6 box to 360 had an old Virgin box. Think I figured it out by leaving the 360 mini box in sitting room and relocating the v6 box upstairs to boys bedroom.

      can record now and all seems ok

    To add to the previous reply, a V6 box runs TiVo-software. a TV360 box runs Horizon firmware.

    Did you previously have a V6 which has been reformatted, to run Horizon-software and is now a TV360-master (thus no longer a V6)?

    You've mentioned Disney which the V6 doesn't have, only TV360 & non-recording Stream.
