Any TV box that's restarting that often has a fault.

There's 2 ways you can report faults..

1: Call in on 150 from a VM phone or 0345 4541111 from any other phone.

2: Wait around here for VM staff to pickup, this might take a couple of days.

What's the problem you're having with calling through?

The IVR is great.....

After you've chosen the options for "I have a fault with my TV service", don't press any more options or buttons and just wait.

Ignore the offer of a text message, automated link or whatever else is flavour of the week and just wait.

The queue for a CS agent should beckon....
