Service not available - Virgin TV Go App

Where do I start regarding the poor customer service being received when in need of support. I recently moved my services to my new address. The TV app has always worked fine in the past however with the move I was given a new account number. Since then I have been attempting to access the TV go app but keep getting the error “service not available - Oops - the service isn’t available at the moment. Try again in a few minutes.”

I have been calling the support team for weeks, being promised call backs, having to explain the issue time and time again. Deleted the app, reinstalled, changed passwords, tried on different devices and on different browsers to no avail. I have been put through to 2nd line teams in India who don’t seem to care and advise that someone would call me back in 2 days (which never happens) or it’s a known issue impacting everyone when my neighbour can access the service fine. I have asked for a reference number which you would think is a simple request but been told they can’t provide a reference and when I call again….nothing has been recorded on the system.

I am really disappointed with this level of service.

Anyone out there had this issue and managed to get it resolved?

Since you moved property and were given a new account number, have you signed into My Virgin Media? If so is that showing your current address, or you previous address?

Hi again @Saf3 

Thanks for updating the thread.  At least MVM and the billing is working. 

The reason I was asking is that when moving home VM normally process what they term as a 'move and transfer' so that you retain your email etc in the new account. The TVGo app log in would be tied in with that, and if they hadn't followed that process it would explain why you were unable to sign into TVGo.

Thanks @newapollo.

I have been trying to relay this to the support engineers but they really don’t seem interested 🙁

Hi @carley,

thanks for reaching out, the issue still persists and I have not had any advice or resolution from Virgin media. If you could support that would be appreciated.

thanks
