Unable to play Catchup content

Our TV360 box has stopped playing catchup content.  Neither from the EPG nor from a search/list of episodes.

If we choose an episode, and select 'watch' then press 'OK' on the remote nothing happens.  Previously doing that would start the programme.

Likewise if we choose a programme, including BBC or ITV, that is shown in the EPG from the day before or whatever and click 'OK' on the remote to play it - nothing happens (it did try and do something just now, after 5 tries, and went to the relevant app, but just froze without playing the content).

We've had to use the apps on our TV instead.

There's an internet connection to the TV360 box.

Any suggestions other than turning it off and on again?

HI @g0akc 

I've passed this issue on as it appears to be more than that noted in the Service Status 

I'm having the same problems as yourself.  I have the same Service Status as @roy247 

Regarding changing channels via the EPG,  mine eventually changes channels  providing I choose a program that's currently playing - but it can take 5 minutes to change channels.

There are no problems switching channels if you type in a channel number whilst watching a program

Using the voice control and saying the channel number or channel name works instantly if you are watching a program, but doesn't work within the EPG

Hi All,

I powered on my 360 box this morning and have no recording, catchup. I did a diagnostic which came back OK. I then retried and got error code CS3520 which I cannot find anywhere. I did a reset (kept recordings) and this came back with CS1010 (it completed a system update during reset). I then did 2 full power cycles with no joy. This is my 2nd box (only 3 months old). Any ideas?

 

Cheers

Recordings are not showing up on my boxes or on my mothers in a different area.

It looks as if it is a VM network issue.

Hi g0akc,

This is my Status message.

We hope to fix this by 3 July at 13:10

Our technician is in your area and is working to fix things.

Some apps like BBC iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube may be unavailable at the moment. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Both of my boxes have the exact same issues (teeside area).  I rebooted the box via the mains and then I was stuck on a couldn't retrieve settings error for some time, then suddenly it sprung back to life but I still can't access any recordings or on-demand

Looks like you could be right.

Thanks both

I tried rebooting the box and now no Catchup content is shown.  I still can't play content from the EPG. I get error codes CS3520 and CS8404.

If I go to an app such as iPlayer I can play content and the 'OK' button works.

Right now I cannot even exit the 'INFO' screen to just watch live TV - it's just stuck!  It shows Live TV Sky News, BBC iPlayer and the time - and a blank purple screen

If I try going to My Virgin website to see status it is just spinning - there's no information on the screen at all - screenshot below:

So is their whole network down or what?
