WV7 area.  Another evening of frustration on 10 February with intermittent service with heavy TV pixilation and black screen.  I'm last but one on the end of the cable and just wonder if these issues are related to that in this area?

Was it being reported on the 0800 number?

[samlofty]

Following repeated black screen interruptions (about 1 second each time) and random heavy pixilation that happens on any channel and on Catch-Up, eventually ran the on-line check.  This stated that my Tivo 6 box was disconnected!  So called 150 and a check from their end suggested that the box was unreachable, however, it is on and I do have a TV picture.  The issue has now been passed to their IT technicians to investigate.

Is your TV box connected to the Hub by WiFi?  If so, try a cable connection. 

[samlofty]

Yes, the Tivo box is cable connected.  Nothing has changed in the hard wired setup to cause the issue which, I suspect, lies with Virgin to resolve.

For the past "n" days there appears to be a broadband and TV fault. Checking service status on each day states that "We've found what's causing the issue and a technician is on the way to fix it." However there doesn't seem to be any improvement on any day.

Slow downloads, pixilated TV picture, interrupted Catch-up" seems t be the norm.

When I ask for Text updates I get the message " Sorry, there was an issue registering you for updates......"

Anyone know if the issue really has been identified?
