Virgin Media TV service not working

using Virgin Media is hell on earth, got the 360 remote sent to me before i had used it ot seems virgin sent the software update to the old box i have ( was told i would get a new box by engineer in late 2023)  box was stuck in a loop to the welcome screen, pulled power plug multiple times eventually got  the damn thing to start, 

i hate the new layout for tv guide

where is a stop button when watching a show ?

had to phone virgin when i tried to login to create an online account to manage our service, to my horro it seems virgin/o2 had created an email address linked to my account i had never heard of or used ! customer support lady said virgin did this, yet because of that its impossible to reset the account as i dont have a password for an email i didnt set up ! you can make up the hell that is trying to deal with virgin media

tried again and they ask to send text i type in my phone number and virgin computer voice reads it back to confirm it,  i wait and wait and never get a text , next day partner sees text sent to her phone !  how is that even possible to get wrong ? honestly virgin is run by total idiots.

then tonight 1030pm 7oct25 tv box will not boot up it gets to welcome screen and shuts off, i call 150 get recorded voice press 1 for this etc, in end virgin thinks offering to send a text is adequate support !

absolute farce form hell we must be given human help, swear to god i am looking for another provider now as im not going to keep paying these idiots £120 pm for a service that keeps being stress to use and provided no human support ,  likely go to sky for tv and see about a cable internet provider as plenty in area that are faster than virgin

lastly how can i get through to a human at virgin to try fix tv service for next week or 2 before i pick another company to switch to ?

  • You use the pause/play button as the stop button.

    Virgin don't offer a 24 hour phone support line might most companies don't, you can try calling again from 8am or wait here for one of the forum team to get back to you which might be 2 to 3 days.
