Re: V6 Box stuck in start-up loop
Just an update to say that a very friendly tech guy came and replaced the failed V6 box for us on Wednesday so, apart from the loss of several hours' worth of unwatched recordings, we're all good now. He described a new product that VM may be offering in the future - a tv streaming device that has the capacity to make and save recordings to the cloud, so that later retrieval of the recordings would not be dependant on the continued operation of the original hardware. Sounds very interesting...4.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: V6 Box stuck in start-up loop
Thanks. Tried that first. Unfortunately these days they just text you a website link which leads ultimately to "We're having some issues on our end. Allow us 30 minutes to get our diagnostic tools up and running again". Been the same all day. I think my best hope is that a staffer picks up my earlier post and arranges a tech visit and replacement box installation as you suggest.6.1KViews0likes0CommentsV6 Box stuck in start-up loop
Assistance, please. At some point this morning an attempted system update seems to have triggered an issue with my V6 box. The following screens are in turn displayed for several minutes each: "Welcome" - "Starting up" - down-pointing arrow symbol - "The DVR has detected a serious problem and is attempting to fix it. The process may take about three hours..." - "Welcome" - "Starting up" etc etc. Should I just continue waiting, and hope for the best? Something similar occurrred about 2 months ago, but on that occasion the "serious problem" message stayed on screen for several hours after which the service did finally resume.6.3KViews0likes6Comments
