New to Virgin and can't manage my package
I joined Virgin with broadband and a tv package nearly 2 weeks ago. I installed the app and a link to manage my online on my laptop. Whilst I can see basic details, I can't manage my tv package. Every time I try, I get taken to the smiley-face and 'Looking for an upgrade?' chat with us now screen. I've tried getting help vie chat support - but without success... It's very frustrating.313Views0likes20CommentsStream upgrade
I currently have three TV360 boxes and spoke to customer service today enquiring about upgrading to stream. They advised me that an activation fee of £35 (self install) would apply and I could only have two stream boxes and would need to keep one TV360 box as the master. Is this correct? I was under the impression I could have up to six stream boxes. I have not heard of the rule that it’s required to keep one TV360 box as the main/master box.119Views0likes3CommentsUHD Add-On for Sky Sports/Cinema + Flex Query on Biggest Combo
Hi all 👋 I’m thinking of signing up for the Biggest Combo and noticed it comes with Sky Sports and Sky Cinema HD included. I’d really like to have them in UHD, but during the sign-up process there’s no clear mention of being able to upgrade to UHD. Does anyone know if that’s something you can add once you’re signed up, or if it needs to be selected upfront? Also, just wanted to double check something — in the basket it shows that everything’s under Flex rather than 360, which is exactly what I’m after. Just hoping someone can confirm that this is accurate and I’ll be set up with Flex TV if I proceed. Appreciate any help or insights before I potentially switch back to Virgin at the end of my Sky contract in December 😊 Thanks96Views0likes2CommentsStream box apps are incredibly slow
I've got 2 brand new stream boxes (Flex), one upstairs and one downstairs. Regular TV seems to work fairly well but the apps are so sluggish, it feels like the boxes are severely underpowered. Netflix especially is almost unbearable - scrolling up and down in the menu is so slow, starting a programme can take up to 30 seconds and it often takes a while for any subtitles to display. Once a programme starts playing and has buffered it works fine, but everything else is a truly miserable experience. Surely for a fairly new paid service it should work much better than this? Even the smart TV apps on my 6 year old TV aren't as painful to use as this. I am going to have to revert to using a Chromecast for apps I think because I have pretty much given up on the stream boxes now for anything other than live TV.601Views0likes13CommentsTransfer Netflix account to Virgin Flex
Hi I want to transfer existing Netflix account (in my wife's name) to Virgin Flex package to gain the 10% discount and monthly on/off flexibility - how do I do this? Guidance I've read to date talks only of billing consolidation under Virgin but this is useless to me it's not a listed service in the Flex package. Thanks for help!Solved48Views0likes2CommentsIs Sky Sports UHD available on Flex TV hardware?
I have the Virgin Media flex box and I've successfully added Sky Sports HD but when I added Sky Sports UHD as a separate addon, the channels just won't work. I've added it to my account through the TV interface but the channels just say I need to subscribe. I've spoken to technical support numerous times with no luck. It suddenly occurred to me...are these channels even available on the Flex box? Technical support haven't suggested otherwise and the only indication I can find that this may be the issue is a thread on this site where someone was unable to add Sky Cinema UHD. The full channel list for Flex is listed here and no UHD channels are listed but I'd have expected either my purchase to be prevented or the tech team to point it out to me!

Apologies if this has been asked before, I've been getting conflicting information and looking to find out the right answer once and for all. 2 things: I'm currently a Flex customer. I've been trying for the next part of 18 months to get a 2nd stream box but I'm told it is not possible. I need to wait until my contract ends. There is no way to add a 2nd stream box for Flex customers. Is this definitely the case? When I go to the My Virgin Media app and then upgrade I have an option to choose Sky Sports for £18 per month for 18 months and TNT sports for £10 per month for 18 months. I have chosen these a couple of times now and get a new contract through email but nothing actually happens and I'm still charged the same Flex price of £38.74 for Sky Sports and £18 for TNT. Seems like other have the same issue so feels like it's just a phantom offer that doesn't actually exist. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Flex was great when I first signed up but doesn't feel like the support or knowledge is there with staff for this product as I constantly get told conflicting information.145Views0likes5CommentsTS2/1/2/ERR_400/302/400 ongoing issues

Hello, I am planning on completing an upgrade offered to my mum who is currently a broadband only user to upgrade to Mega TV. When completing the upgrade steps I noticed the equipment that is being sent is a Stream box. Will all the channels that are available to Mega Tv be available on the Stream box and will this work in the same way as the normal Stream/Flex service works (no coax cable needed and provided via the internet)? Just wanted to confirm as most articles I've read say Mega TV is only available via Virgin 360 boxes rather than Flex/Stream boxes. ThanksSolved364Views0likes7Comments
