The flashing online light on your TiVo means you have a faulty box. So the fix is to call Virgin Media and report your fault.
At the very least you should get a replacement TiVo - if you're out of contract, have VM broadband, and ask nicely (with a possible view to changing your bundle deal) you might be able to get a swap to a V6 box.
