Hi Peter

Happy New Year! Thanks for your post. Sorry to hear you've lost your recordings. 

roy247 is right - it sounds like your box is fault and in which case, we'd need to replace it for you.

I'll drop you a PM so I can help you with this.

If the 360 has deleted your recordings it's a sign that the box is faulty, especially if it does it more than once. You can either call Virgin on 150 from a Virgin phone, mobile or landline, or 0345 454 1111 from any other phone to report a fault, or wait here for one of the forum team to pick this up which might be 2 to 3 day's.

When phoning choose the option to report a fault, then ignore all the options offered and you should then be placed into a queue to speak to someone.

If you have the TVGO app you could check to see if your recordings are still showing under the Saved tab because the data is held on Virgins servers.

You could also try a factory reset of the 360, and if you haven't got any recordings you might as well go for the format disk option and if or 'when' the box deletes everything again then phone Virgin, I would try the 'keep recordings' option first especially if the data is still showing on the app. 

They might suggest you set the Auto delete option to off, it probably already is and shouldn't affect planned recordings but you can check by doing the following;

Press Home > Recordings > Recorded > View All > Manage Storage > Enter your pin > Auto delete when space needed > Set to Off.

Sorry to see you are continuing to have box issues.

I've seen a couple of recent posts where users 360 boxes have been updated to version 5.07.  The down arrow and endless loop you are currently seeing may possibly be the result of a failed software update.

If it's possible, and isn't already set up like this, can you try connecting the 360 box to your hub via an ethernet cable, and then reboot both the hub and 360? 

You should also try the following. .

Turn off the 360 at the switch;  then on the box  hold down both the power button and the + button at the same time. Whilst keeping hold of those buttons for a further 30 seconds turn on the 360 again .

Hopefully then the box should reboot, the power button will turn blue, and it should  reset and boot up normally

Booked an engineer visit for Tuesday morning 16 Jan 2024

Happened to me just before I went away for the weekend. Came back today and confirmed all recording and planned recordings lost. They were present after the recent update. Also can't stream shows from yesterday via the guide. Trying a Factory reset now and will contact virgin if it happens again.
