Virgin TV 360 Advanced Settings

For the record, spent over 1.5 hours on the phone to Virgin Technical Team on Friday and got passed around to 5 different individuals and none of them had a clue or understood the ask.

You need to explain what this home automation system is, as everyone else uses the remote to access the box's settings.

Unlike the V6\TiVo boxes the 360 does not have an open protocol for control over ethernet, so you will not be able to do that, you will most likely need some sort of IR blaster that is compatible with your control system.

For the static IP, you could just do that through your router and assign a static IP to the box, I think even Virgin's hubs have that functionality, though obviously, that's pretty useless without the ethernet control.

I agree that a static IP is best set through your router. It's certainly a basic task on my Netgear router, I should imagine it's similar on the VM Hubs.

Unfortunately, TV360 is - by nature - often quite simple in the options it offers.

I am using Control4 Home Automation System. 

In terms of the IR Blaster - I thought the Virgin360 box doesn't support IR?

Agreed, I have a Ubiquiti Network at home and have fixed the IP for the Virgin360 MAC address. 

I really could do with the Network Remote Control option if there is any way of getting into some hidden settings somewhere! It has been available with Virgin and Sky boxes for years....shame this isn't available 😞 I have to use the TV Go app to control the box as some of the rooms are too far for the remote to work.
