Hi, I downgraded my package which came into effect on 29th April. The broadband works fine after I restarted the router that morning, but the TV has had error code 7400 since then.

Have obviously called customer services, the first time I was told an IT ticket had been raised which should fix it in 24 hours. When that didn't work I called again and was told an IT ticket had been raised and would be fixed within 5 days. Don't worry, they said, you won't pay for the time you were out of service. I asked for email confirmation of this and what had been done, "yes we will send you a confirmation"... Guess what, never received anything.

I'm now getting emails saying "we need to come and collect your TiVo box, please book a slot"... No idea why. All I've done is downgrade my package, the box worked fine before!

I don't want to phone again as I'm not convinced that they know what's going on. I've had issues in the past that I was only able to get resolved through this forum - so please could one of the team PM me asap so we can sort out what should have been a simple change?

Thank you

From your description, your TiVo has been deactivated. 7400 is an activation error and "we need to collect your box" implies it's been cancelled. Not receiving email confirmation is not a surprise - this is often promised but I've never known it materialise.

Calling in should be the quickest way but I can understand your reluctance. You've already called twice and this hasn't been resolved, so I'll exercise some VIP-discretion and flag this post for the staff to pickup sooner than they otherwise would.

Edited to add that if this is genuinely an IT/back-office issue, then they may not be able to expedite that. But at least you should get a straight answer - I am presuming here, that you have other services with VM, such as broadband?

Thanks for the reply, yes I have a 100mb Big Volt bundle at the moment.

Hi @kimbop8672, thanks for your post although I'm sorry to hear of your concerns raised.

Please allow me to send you a PM to look into this further, and respond when you can!

Many thanks
