Recordings keep being wiped

My Virgin box keeps deleting my recordings, usually every few days I go to watch something I have recorded and everything has been wiped - no recordings, no planned recordings. I set them up again and it seems fine, then a few days later they are gone again!

It rewinds and pauses fine, no issues there.

It also forgets to keep my signed into iplayer, 4 on demand, ITVX etc. Every time I watch something on catch up, I have to sign in again with my phone and QR code. Every single time, it's very annoying.

Is this just a faulty box?

    Certainly sounds like the box is faulty if it's deleting your recordings and planned recordings.

    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.
