Virgin remote

Hello when I first got virgin tv I had a remote that beeps when I misplace it and the keys light up.. that controller got broken now they keep sending me replacement ones that don’t beep  when I lose it.. anyone know why?? 

They just charge me £10 for another one and said it will beep but they said this before. 

  • The old version of the 360 remote control is no longer available.

  • Hi Howard48, thank you for your post.

    Can you please confirm which type of set top box you currently have and whether it's been changed since you had the type of remote you're referring to?

  • Hi Howard48,

    As 1701-e correctly said the old 4 battery version of the 360 remote is no longer available, the new 2 battery version remote is the same as the "stream" box uses and doesn't beep. The old one still beeps's so it's a feature that has been removed from the remote probably had the 'beeper' removed.

    I see that the "lost" remote instructions for the 360 box have been changed from being the same as the V6 and now says,

     

    We need to send you a replacement remote
