V6 box stuck

My V6 box is stuck between the Welcome screen and the image of a box with a downward arrow. It has been like this for 24 hours. I have just managed to get through to support who have said someone from 2nd level support will call back with 48 hours. Any ideas?

You've done the right thing by calling into faults to report this, but I fear all that's happened is that they've got you off the phone by the promise of a call-back that "might" happen but likely won't. I'd love to be proven wrong.

If I were you, I'd call-back and be (politely) insistent that the problem is dealt with by means of a booked engineer appointment at the very least. That can lead to the box being replaced if necessary.

If you get no joy, please post back here. VIP users have other ways & means to get this the correct response.

As the previous reply suggested, no one called me back. I then had to call back and go through all the same questions and suggestions which I had explained did not work the first time. An engineer is now booked to come out on Wednesday. I do feel the service is not great, basically I was told someone would call me back to get me off the phone. I have been a Virgin customer for many years and I am an IT professional, I knew the box needs to be replaced. The engineer should have been booked in the first day I called.

Thank you - yes that is what happened - no one called me back. I called back and now have an engineer booked for Wednesday.
