Re: VM 360 uhd content "dull"
I had a 2018 or 2019 Philips tv and had the same issue. After looking into it it was due to older tech ultimately. Changed my tv in 2024 and bingo loads brighter. It's not a tv setting as such it is the 'NITs' that determines how bright your tv can go with UHD/HDR content. It wasn't as visible with Prime and Netflix but was the same for them also with darker parts of films was really bad.142Views0likes2CommentsYour Virgin Media TV box needs an upgrade
The key part to that statement on the email I have received today is needs. Apart from all the great things I would lose if I converted to 360 I have 2 very full boxes which I would lose all my recordings. That has been my main reason why I have not converted before now. I have read the email carefully and it obviously sells it as being a great move if we converted but I see no mention of say a date I have to do this by as if we are being forced into it or anything. As it stands I am not going to 'upgrade' but the needs wording has me slightly concerned Has anyone seen anything on here or otherwise to if we are going to be forced to 360 anytime soon?839Views0likes10CommentsRe: Sound cutting out for a second repeatedly
I am getting this and actually put it down to my soundbar which I know is on it's way out but then found if I use a fire stick content through that is fine so it is a Virgin thing only. Live TV and recordings do it. It's for a second every half an hour or so. It's just annoying and clearly not normal.7.9KViews0likes3CommentsA whole football season with a fault
Congratulations Virgin you have outdone yourself this year. From the first game of the season Arsenal v Nottingham Forest right upto and including tonights Europa final the TNT Sports UHD ch.531 has had a stuttering fault which many have reported and nothing has ever been fixed. You will be saving me money as no way will I be paying for the TNT add on now you've stripped it out the bundle737Views1like4CommentsRemote Control Woes
About a month ago now I ordered a new V6 remote through the website help and it arrived free of charge. Unfortunately it seems to be a completely dead remote as I have used the batteries supplied and some new I have and it is doing nothing not even lighting up. I try to follow the same route to order another new one but it says as you have recently had a new remote we will charge you £9.99 for this extra one. I do have 2 V6 boxes so completely plausible they fail at the same time but anyway I go the route of the online chat. I go through all the checks even to the point they ask me for the serial number of my bedroom box which is the one with the broken remote (which was hard to get and see) and they say a new one is on the way free of charge. I am now at least 2 weeks later and not a thing unlike the one I ordered myself where I got a shipping notification email and updates. Can someone please send me a new working V6 remote please? Thanks616Views0likes1CommentRe: Sky Sports UHD FF/Rewind not working properly
I have had this issue all along with SKY Sports UHD and is unusable as it just freezes for so long. I expected as much that the buffer/box just can't cope with it. Luckily we tend to only use it when live. The odd occasion you leave it on 1 of the tuners and you want to go back to see a goal or something you have no chance it's complete guess work as to where to stop it887Views0likes0CommentsRe: Live EAFA champions league not showing on TNT Sports Ultimate
Usually it is down to the host broadcaster. So when there is a UK match TNT take their 4K cameras along and you get the match but as both of them were 'foreign' games last night then I guess there was not a 4K feed available for TNT to show. There will be 1 tonight as Man City are at home. Same applies to the UEFA games. It's not been the first time there has been no UHD showing. EDIT:- Just to add as to why it was scheduled on there is a Virgin issue I guess or perhaps duff info from TNT if BT had the same EPG issue.843Views0likes0CommentsRe: TNT ultimate sound... again...
Still happening for the games in the week and Saturday. Season started August and we are into February and still no progress. This is a great way to keep the TNT subscribers down as when my bundle expires and TNT is stripped out no way would anybody pay for this as a service662Views1like1Comment
