Hi @Tommymc11 

It sounds like the 360 box either it's a faulty box/upgrade, or the box hasn't been set up on the VM systems correctly which will be why you should be getting a phone call. This is usually from 2nd level support, not a tech, as they have access to provisioning systems that aren't available to front line agents.

I'm hoping all goes well and that they can reactivate the equipment, however in some instances this fails and if that happens you will probably recieve a visit from tech support so they can swap out the 360 for another box

All fixed and up and running thanks all
