Received Virgin box today but need a new tv and was told I could activate without a TV. How do I do this? I also can’t log in to the TV Go app as it says ‘the service isn’t available at the moment’. I upgraded from just broadband to broadband and tv with my new contract starting today yet my account page is only showing broadband listed

Hi @Lifegoeson 

Rather than calling the 0345 number and getting stuck in a  call queue, you should call the activation line. 

0800 953 9500  You will need the box serial number, and your account number and area code.

I didn't need enter serial numbers at all as soon as I entered my Ac no the system knew I had self install kit delivered  and asked if I want to activate it pressed 1 for Yes and it was done

I'm pleased that worked for you @Posidon 😎

It does help to have the information to hand, especially as sometimes there's a mismatch with the serial numbers on the VM systems.
