Re: BBC iPlayer on Tivo
Hello Matthew_ML, After the chopping and changing of email sign in requirements for My Virgin Media I ended up with two working accounts, for different email addresses (last accessed a month or two ago). I tried to sign in yesterday to answer your query but was presented with a Virgin Media O2 sign in / creation screen. I eventually got one to work (for what used to be a secondary email I believe the term was) but couldn't find the option you were asking about. (The other won't work, but that's another issue to be raised elsewhere). Kind Regards, Steve_195345Views0likes4CommentsRe: BBC iPlayer on Tivo
Thanks for your quick reply japitts. The Tivo has no obvious faults so can't go down that route. The two boxes are in different parts of the house and iPlayer access is needed in both. I agree waiting for forum staff is probably the best option. jpeg1, it's a very old tv!157Views0likes0CommentsBBC iPlayer on Tivo
Hello, I haven't received any communication from VM (all contact details are up to date), I only found out BBC iPlayer could no longer be accessed on my Tivo box when I tried to use it today. I have a V6 and a Tivo box. From what I've seen elsewhere it seems the Tivo will have to be upgraded. I DO NOT WANT A TV360 (until there is no choice) but would be happy with a V6 replacement for the Tivo. How do I go about arranging this (and ensuring I get a V6 and not a TV360)? Thanks in advance, Steve_1953Solved314Views0likes14CommentsLandline issue
Hello, Our set up; virgin broadband, TV & landline. We have an old nynex box on the wall outside and an NTL box on the inside both there since the late 90s. Next to the NTL box we have a double phone socket (with no company id). The landline was used for a number of years but hasn't been for the last 10 to 12 years. It's been retained to keep the package cost down. We also have a regularly used BT landline. I now want to move the BT landline number to virgin, replacing the existing virgin number and upgrading the phone package to match that of BT (or as close as can be). Before trying to arrange this I thought I'd better check the virgin line still works; it doesn't (no dial tone), using either of the two sockets. No idea how many years this may have been a problem. The phone and cabling used to test the line work ok with BT. The online status check doesn't identify any faults. The number still exists; when called it apparently rings endlessly. There have been a number of engineer visits since the phone was last used. One was to replace the cable across the garden, from the house to the street, and another was to temporarily connect us to an unsused but still connected nynex box next door while an unspecified fault in the area was fixed. I'm wondering if the phone connection wasn't correctly reinstated at some point. In November 2023 I received a text saying the digital voice switchover would be happening in Jan 2024 and an adaptor would be sent; it never arrived. I've recently discovered the change was suspended for a time but has now resumed. Just in case the switch had been done I connected the phone to the TEL1 socket on the hub using the equivalent of the adaptor, made from spare cabling and connectors. It didn't work of course. I'm now wondering if, rather than have someone investigate and maybe fix an issue with a system that is about to be decommissioned, I could be switched to digital now? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you.35Views0likes1Comment
