Upgrade to 360 not happening

I requested a 360 remote. This was delivered to me a couple of days ago. I restarted the V6 box several times but the 360 app is not changing to the install option. It's still offering me the upgrade now app. 

  • Issue fixed by Engineer replacing the V6 box

  • That will be good news.  You really don't want this downgrade.

  • Glad you posted this. Am in Lanarkshire under Uddingston too. New remote arrived fine but upgrade persisting with no install app for over 10 days and numerous resets. Have an engineer booked next Friday so assume I am getting a new box? Looks like an issue with us Uddy folk?

      Actually I'm not from Uddingston, I'm in Balloch.

  • Actually it's not an error. It's a test app for the Uddingston (Lanarkshire) broadband exchange.

      Hi bdw, 

      Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums.

      We're sorry to hear you've had some issues with updating the V6 box to 360. 

      When clicking the upgrade option, this should start the download for the box. Please remember that in doing so, this will delete all recordings and series links so if there is any recordings you still need to watch, it's worth doing this before they are deleted. 

      Let us know how things go and if you need further support, pop back to us here. 

      Thanks,

        Hi....I have the same problem as the OP. I have received the 360 remote then I powered off the V6 box waited for 30 seconds then powered it back on. Unfortunately there is no " Install Now " option, the "Upgrade Now" option is still there. I've been through the power off (pulling the power cable) and power on cycle several times but to no avail. Advice please.

        Thanks

      Hi bdw - what is the test app for Uddingston? I've not seen this before and wondering if that is having an impact for some reason.

      Has the Install Now app shown up for you yet? If not I'll investigate with the team to see why. Thanks, Lewis.

    Hi bdw 

    What happens when you highlight the 'app' that's shown in your screenshot in between Prime Video and Virgin Store? What message is displayed on the right hand side of the screen?

    There is no such app so it looks like an error.
