Recordings deleted and no planned recordings

I’ve just returned from a 2 week holiday and all of my recordings aren’t there and all my planned recordings aren’t there. Is there any way to get these back?

The quick answer is no, assuming the box is set to fast start or active start and not switched off at the plug then you shouldn't lose anything which would indicate a faulty box.

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. 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. 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.

Thanks

there was 50% free when I left and the option to delete recordings when full was turned off. 
the virgin box was powered when we left and was still in standby when we got back. 
not sure why or how this has happened. Been away a few times and this hasn’t happened before. 
hopefully one of the tech team reply as the customer service via the phone isn’t great.
