Since upgrading my V6 box to 360 I have had more error codes and spam email than I ever had before the upgrade.
This one today is really annoying. It prevents me accessing recordings where I have more than one episode recorded.
Also the option to access all episodes of a series generates the code.
I have complained to many different call centres including an an email to the chief executive office.
I’ll leave it to all members to guess how much response I received.
If I wasn’t locked into a contract then I would leave, although not sure if BT or Sky would be any better.
Lets face it, as long as we keep paying they couldn’t care less about customer service.

Hi iantos,
Sorry to see your continued problems.
All of the above error numbers that you've listed can be caused by a temporary internet service interruption.
As indicated by @Tom_F there was a wider area issue recently with broadband however that has since been deemed to be resolved.
CS3300 CS6600 are both service temporarily unavailable errors - these would occur if the internet was affected.
CS2401 appears when the apps are currently not available- again internet connection issues.
Errors CS9993 and CS9994 are displayed when attempting to access Replay/Boxsets & Movies or Apps when the VM Hub is offline or Ethernet / Wi-Fi connection is not present.
I would call the automated Service Status number 0800 561 0061 which often gives details of more local issues down to postcode level, and if the wider area broadband issue has reared it's ugly head again it would be listed on there.
Check the power and RF connections to your VM Hub are snug and tight, and ensure the white co-axial cable and ethernet cable (if applicable) are securely connected. If your 360 box(es) are connected over Wi-Fi, reconnect the box to Wi-Fi network from the “Network Settings” menu.
The other CS5600 error occurs while receiving a channel. Try to play another channel and check if the problem also exists with other channels. If the problem only occurs when playing one channel, try playing the channel again later.
If you are also having separate internet issues it would be a good idea to post your internet stats in the /Networking-and-WiFi Forum
Explain the internet issues, how the devices are connected, whether it's just wired or also wireless devices affected, and the learned guru's will be able to interpret and hopefully solve the problems.

You could also set up a BQM monitor at thinkbroadband.com - this will give you an insight into what is happening with the signal at the other side of the Hub, it will take a few hours to get any kind of trend showing although you can post the link straight away.

Hi iantos, thanks for getting in touch.
Sorry to hear you've had an issue with your TV service since upgrading to 360.
What error message are you getting specifically? I understand that there was a wider area issue recently with broadband however that has since been deemed to be resolved. Are you still having problems with your broadband as well?

I have had a lot of different error codes.
CS3300, CS2401, CS9994, CS5600, CS6600, CS9993.
the last one is the most recent and coincided with the Internet Double Arrow Flashing. This problem has now gone away.
A separate issue concerning Netflix and other streaming services is still a problem and also a connectivity issue with my Soundbar.

How is your 360 connected to your homehub? That provides the connectivity for the internet and all your online functions.
If it's wireless, have you checked the connection quality under Settings > Network > Diagnostics?

Thank you for that information iantos.
Have you been able to check out the advice provided by the other users?

Yes, apart from the “spoiler” which I will look at when I have more time.
On the positive side most of the issues have resolved themselves, apart from the Netflix issue (drops out regularly) and the Soundbar compatibility issue for which I have a workaround (VM Engineer suggestion).
