Recorded programs are not playing most the time schedule programs are not recording.

When trying to play a recording on my virgin 360 a box I am getting the following error Failed to play recording CS2214. Plus most of the time the scheduled recordings are not recording. I have tried doing a factory reset but kept the recordings that I have, but that has made no difference. 

I have just this moment tried to play a recorded program to get the exact error and the virgin box has reset itself and is now seem to be stuck on the welcome page. 

It’s finally come off the wait screen and says Can’t find hard drive CS6000. Call 150.

due to the fact we have a second box that was never installed. My wife has swapped the boxes out and spent ages on the phone to somebody who could not get the 360 part installed. 

When she clicks on games and apps to see if she could install it from there, the screen is blank. She’s able to now do recordings but could not log into anything like iPlayer.  

Are any virgin media employees able to help with this please? As a technician that she spoke to didn’t seem to be very knowledgeable on issues, 

 

Cheers in advance

  • If a box has not been connected to the Virgin network it needs reactivating on the system. Can you still see live TV.

    Are you saying you can now watch recordings or just make recordings which would mean you have a second 360 box with hard drive and not a mini box, how long can you rewind live TV if it's over 5 minutes then you have 360 main box a mini box buffers in memory for possibly 5 minutes at max depending on the resolution of the broadcast.

     

  • I have two TiVo boxes. One I’ve had for years and has a dead hard drive. So I had to try my Second one which has never been used, it has now been activated but cant upgrade to 360 as there isn’t an option and guy on the phone couldn’t help my wife sort it.

      The boxes need to be connected to the Virgin network so they can receive updates. If you can't arrange an engineer on the phone then you will need to wait for one of the forum team to respond which might be 2 to 3 days.

       

  • I just need virgin to send some kind of updates to my box so I can update to virgin 360. As the guy on the phone didn’t seem to be able to do it so I shall wait for a virgin representative to answer on here.

  • It seems Support rang my wife today and an engineer has been sent out due to the facts that when you go to apps it is blank so therefore an option it’s all great to 360
