Have the same issue.
Promised a replacement box over a month ago when I finally got through... I'm fine with a new box and installing it, I'll even send the old one back, but alas nothing. So have now spent all this time with a half functioning piece of kit, no access to any of my recordings, which will all be lost when I have to replace it for the second time in less than a year!
Not happy.

Hi @Oppenheimer 👋
Welcome to our Community Forums and thanks for your post.
I am sorry you are getting this error.
If there's an issue with the hard drive, I can get an engineer visit booked and the box will be replaced for you.
I'll pop you a PM 📩 now to assist further.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Who promised the replacement box was it the call centre or online chat, the forum team would probably organise an engineer.
You can either call Virgin on 150 from a Virgin phone, mobile or landline, or 0345 454 1111 from any other phone to ask where your replacement box is, they should have notes of a conversation of sending one out, or wait here for one of the forum team to pick this up which might be 2 to 3 day's.
Phoning should be the quickest.

It has been replaced recently to the newer spec box and I am quite capable of installing a replacement without an engineer callout, many thanks.
