Tv on the go saved recordings playback error

[shuggg]

I am having a problem when trying to playback recordings on the Virgin TV Go app that are saved on a V6 box.

When trying to watch a show I get a black screen with following error message.

"Sorry - we can't play this at the moment 1"

I am using the local network - the V6 box using wired ethernet and the phone with TV Go app is using WIFI on the same network.

This has worked fine for years before and I tested using BBC shows and Sky Sports recordings on channels I know have no restrictions as they have worked fine before.

Any other suggestions on things to try to troubleshoot?

Thanks

Hello shuggg,

Welcome to the community and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re having with your TV go app at the moment. 

Have you tried to remove and re-install the application since the issues started? Are you using the most up to date version of the TV GO app?

Kind Regards,

Steven_L

I'm going round in circles..Contact them by phone, but no one answers. just an automated voice to say we've sent you an link for a chat, but that doesn't work .Reset my password, but that never comes through, it's bloody madening.

Hi @shuggg and @iceboy1952 

If you both have V6 boxes then try using the TV Control app to playback recordings. Info below from

https://www.virginmedia.com/help/tv/how-to-use-virgin-tv-control-app 

How to stream or download recordings

If you’ve got a Virgin TV V6 box, you can use the app to watch selected recordings on your mobile or tablet around the home. You can even download them from the Virgin TV V6 box and watch them on the go.

You’ll just need to be connected to your home network to stream or download your recordings. But once your recordings have been downloaded, you can play them anywhere. Say goodbye to boring train rides.

Note: You cannot download recordings from Virgin TV 360 boxes.

How you stream or download recording depends on what type of device you have.....

It then continues with instructions for ios and android devices.

I don't have tv on the go and I'm not giving my details out willy nilly..It seems there's too many different people contacting me through private messaging asking for details!

If you don't have an issue related to this thread, why are you posting on it?

[iceboy1952]

Because I'm being messaged and tagged in it, that's why.
