My husband  tried to access a recording from the main 360 box to watch on the mini box. It came up with OOPs. We couldn’t connect to Virgin TV 1. How do you solve this issue?

Hi @mtennant 

Was the main TV360 box switched on? If not then the mini box wouldn't be able to connect to it.

If the main 360 was in standby then it needs to be in either Fast Start or Active Start mode.

Settings > System > Standby power consumption. You have 3 choices.
Fast start  - the 360 starts quickly but is less energy efficient
Active start - more energy efficient than fast start but the box takes a little longer to start up
Eco start - the most energy efficient and probably the one you're using. It uses minimal power but takes a while to start.
The first two options are best if you have a mini box and want to watch a recording on it

We have tried all the steps you outlined and it is still coming up with the same message. So cannot access recordings on mini box  as it cannot connect to 3620 box

How's the mini box connected to your hub, ethernet cable or wi-fi, if it's wi-fi can you watch on-demand, you can also check your network connection by pressing Home, Settings, Network, Diagnostics.

You should have, Signal Quality Good, and 3 green ticks.

Mini box connected by Wi-Fi. Can connect to BBCIplayer. Diagnostic test is fine. As you have outlined. Yet still getting the OOPs. We can’t connect to Virgin box 1. 

I have spent ages trying to solve this problem. Getting to the end of my tether. If you can’t watch recordings on mini box, it has lost one of its most important functions.

Where else do I get help to sort this out??

Have you tried rebooting both boxes by turning the power off and on with either the switch on the back of the box or at the plug.

Do the main box first and then the mini box.

Still not working and same message. It is just under 2 weeks old. Can. Moderator pick up on this or I shall be cancelling my contract?

Did a search and found similar problem  on 12/11/22 at 16.28pm, posted by Sushi 100. They needed a new Virgin 360 box. Can you check this? It sounds exactly like my problem

Hi @mtennant 

Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community.

I am sorry to hear of the issues you've had with the Mini Box.

Please can you ensure the box is turned on for us to be able to run tests on? Let us know and we can do these.

Best wishes,
