Hello everyone.
ERROR CODE 603 V6 BOX
I have tried everyone's suggestions above and nothing has worked. I have called Virgin support numerous times.......
I also have a Samsung Frame as per the earlier email; perhaps that is part of the problem? However, my second V6 box is connected to a Panasonic and it gives the same 603 code.
Everyday for months I have to reboot the box to get on demand.
Do I give up and go back to Sky?
Thanks to all for the previous suggestions

Firstly it's much better to start your own thread than add "me too" to someone elses - that way, replies can be specific to you. I've done it for you 😉
Error 603 usually occurs with 4K/UHD TV's in one of 2 scenarios..
1: Someone between your V6 & TV, something isn't HDCP2.2 compliant. A quick test of this is to drop your video output to 1080 (where no HDCP issues exist) and see if the problem clears.
2: If a reboot clears the problem, only for it to recur later, I wouldn't bet against an HDCP issue, but quoting the specific model numbers of your TV's may be helpful.

Hi @DIGIDOUG1
Error 603 is generally due to the HDMI cable not being HDCP2.2 compliant or if using a switch to connect HDMI devices that either the switch itself is not compatable or one of any other HDMI cables attached to the switch.
Do you have Ultra HD 4K TV's? If so ensure the HDMI cables are HDCP2.2 compliant as above, also try connecting to different HDMI ports.
You should reboot the V6 each time you change ports or HDMI cables so the changes are recognised.
If the TV(s) don't support HDCP2.2 then you need to change the video settings on the TV box to output in HD.

Like you, after weeks of frustration and trying absolutely everything advised, I cured it by rebooting to get "On Demand" etc. working temporally and then immediately changed the V6 Power Setting to "Always On".
The problem seemed to be when the box came out of either of the "sleep" modes.
Undoubtedly Virgin will recompense us for the small amount of extra electricity used in solving this for them! 🤔

Hello Martin
I have dropped the output to 1080 and rebooted. Unfortunately it still comes up as error 603.
I am at a complete loss here and will go back to Sky as I just cannot face any more months of having to reboot for every viewing session.
Thanks
