Is there any way to permanently disable "Connect to Virgin TV" on the Virgin TV GO app? My grandad watches on an iPad but is struggling to understand that he keeps changing the channel on our tv from his home some miles away. There's no obvious method even in a separate profile.48Views0likes3CommentsPaused TV skipping back
Evening folks, I've seen a number of posts about this issue where during paused live TV, itll skip When i try to fast forward either by pressing the arrows and speeding it up or by doing the right button to skip 30 seconds, what happens is it'll skip back anything upto 10-15 minutes and will occasionally then jump forward to live TV and we'll lose the paused TV I've noticed this was becoming more of an issue over the past year so I've reported and eventually got an engineer to come out who gave me a brand new 360 box however, after a week or so, the issue is back and just as bad as before Could this be something to do with my line? I find it so hard to get the issue across to the people on live chat Thanks213Views0likes14CommentsNo TV - Virgin 360 on V6 box stuck on black screen with red Virgin media logo
Changed to V360 about a week ago. Has stopped working and won’t boot up. Gets stuck on the black screen with the red logo. 2 questions: How to fix this? How will VM compensate me for having no TV which I am paying for?101Views0likes11CommentsOur V6 box is mysteriously losing access to the apps at random intervals.
I've resisted the temptation to 'upgrade' to 360 from our current V6 box having seen all the negative comments about it. However, our V6 box is mysteriously losing access to the apps at random intervals often in the middle of streaming something. When it does, the icons that appear at the top of the menu screen are generally replaced with ones pushing an upgrade to 360. A cynical person might think this was a deliberate ploy by VM to get us to move off Tivo. It's getting a bit annoying. Our box is using an ethernet connection to the Hub 3, and the network settings say we have a successful connection when the apps are unavailable. Any explanations VM?Solved303Views0likes12CommentsSolid Amber Light
For the last couple of weeks my wifi has been shocking, never an issue over the last couple of years. The. The last two days I’ve had issues with recordings on my box, I could watch TV and use apps fine. The problem was purely when I tried to watch a recording, I was getting an error message saying if it continued try switching it off and checking the leads. I’ve now done as it suggested and I have a solid amber light on the box and can’t use it at all. Excellent. Any ideas? Screaming hasn’t worked.74Views0likes3CommentsWhat am I doing with these remotes?
Just received my 2 remotes. Already have 2 x V6 boxes. Understood that you can upgrade to 360 using the remotes but I cant find instructions for this. Also read that all recordings need to be deleted before the upgrade, is this true? Can anyone help me please? Can you explain in layman's terms, I am not very good with technical stuff, thanks 😁😁Solved115Views0likes7CommentsUpgrading to a 360 box - Restarts contract?
Hi all, I've been out of contract for quite a while now. Like many others I got the email saying my Virgin box is out of date and needs a "free upgrade". Does anybody know, by initiating the upgrade to the 360 box, does that restart your contract? Thanks.Solved164Views0likes3CommentsNew customer:360 boxes CS1011 error for 14 days
Hello all. I'm really frustrated. Equipment came 2 weeks ago, engineer was here 6 days ago, only WiFi working. TV 360 boxes did not work and were swopped out. Now CS1011 error despite calling VM almost everyday to activate swopped out boxes. Nobody seems able to fix this when we call in.59Views0likes3Comments
