all my recorded programmes are freezing and pixelated and I’m unable to watch them. This started a few days ago. Can anyone help with this please ?

Is your live TV ok, as that's the first test that the problem isn't your incoming TV signal. If that's fine, try pausing live TV and watching delayed by a short time.
This is also a recording and uses your hard drive in the same way. Does this have the same problems?
If it does - your V6 has a hard drive problem and will need replacing.

Hi
Thanks very much for your prompt reply - much appreciated :).
Live TV is ok, however, I paused live tv, then played it back and the same thing is happening ... so it looks like it is the hard drive, then and a new V6 box is required. I will contact Virgin.
Thanks again for your kind help 🙂

Hi Nat
Thank you very much for the follow up message. A Technician came out yesterday and replaced the V6 Box 👍, looking like it was an issue with the hard drive. Unfortunately, I've lost all my recordings but happy that the box is now working 😃😃
