As others have alluded, a lack of EPG updates is often indicative of a failing/failed internet connection. The TIiVo box has this inbuilt on the same cable as the TV signal, so there's not much troubleshooting can be done. If you're getting errors as you describe, please check the front left of the box where there's a series of green lights.

Second from left should have a heart symbol next to it and indicate your online/internet status. It should be on solidly, but I suspect in your case it won't be.

If it is - then reconnecting your box to the internet for (amongst others) EPG updates should be possible if you call up TV Faults and explain your symptoms. If your light is flashing, then you either have a faulty box or area fault.

In that case, call TV Faults to report it. You may need an engineer visit, or more likely - a replacement box.

My V6 is connected by Ethernet directly to my router, and onwards to my hub in modem mode.

Works fine, nothing wrong with modem mode!

I suspect the Nighthawk is blocking the traffic.  Connect directly to the WiFi again, and then reboot the V6.  It may take a while for the On Demand to start working.

Two things.

1) Try another ethernet cable - they can "fail" sometimes. That is the best way to connect it. You dont have the Hub in modem mode by any chance?

2) Disconnect the ethernet cable and try connecting on wifi from the Network settings - select your network and add password - and see if that gets it

I did think we needed anew TiVo box as saw somewhere this may be the case, but still no call from virgin as promised. Just getting nowhere.

 

thanks for your help japitts
