All recordings and planned recordings lost

Virgin 360 went off last night rebooted have lost all recordings and planned recordings can this be fixed and repaired please 

  • 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.

      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.

        Hi Macleanac,
        Thank you for your reply, how are things looking since your post? I have been unable to run checks on your TV box as it is unreachable, if you are still having issues please ensure it is turned on and we can take another look for you 😊
