Subtle ploy from VM?
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?
Playback help on TV360
Hello all! I recently upgraded my V6 to TV360, & overall I'm impressed & happy with it. However, I have one annoying issue. When playing back a recording, it often begins after the programme has already started. It’s not that the programme started early or the timer activated late, because if I rewind, the beginning is actually there on the recording. Other times, it starts playing a minute before the programme begins. There appears to be no rhyme or reason! Can this "feature" be turned off?
V6 updated to 360
Recently updated my v6 box to the new 360 software. Update wasn't the best at first, failed after 1st attempt, turn off, turn on then worked ok. I now have 2 distinct issues. The box has no white or red light when on or on standby. YouTube app has taken to lose sound intermittently. I know the box has sound output otherwise. Any assistance is appreciated 👌
360 upgrade and apps
So, as well as the discussed 'shortcomings' of the supposed 'upgrade' (I wish I could go back to my V6 but apparently you cannot), is there a way to get rid of the 'bloatware' apps? Also, can I add my own apps? Or, are we to just accept that Virgin Media and their owners know better and I am paying for a service that I never agreed to? i.e. most apps I do not use, and you cannot hide/arrange any of them. Please do not tell me sure your most used apps are at the bottom and if you could just scroll past the stuff they are trying to sell me, or tell me to just speak into the device (I do not want to nor feel I should). Why not put the most used apps at the top? Almost like they want you to waste time/effort in passing apps that I might sign up for - no chance. I also feel l like I have been 'duped' into the upgrade...subject: "Your TV box needs an upgrade". Also, feel mis-sold on the 'you aren't getting the most out of your services". Is there a way to cancel a contract early on the basis of a degradation of service? Anyway, its that bad an experience I will not be renewing when my contract ends in December of this year.Want to return unused 360 upgrade kit
Can someone please tell me how I can return this? I was told I needed to upgrade as BBC iPlayer will no longer work on my current box. I opened the kit today and there’s so much of it I just don’t have the room or inclination to try and reorganise my lounge to set it up. I am happy with my old set-up and I can watch iPlayer on my phone if I get that desperate.No sound on iPlayer on V360
I just updated to Virgin 369 today, and have logged into all the apps I use (Netflix, Disney +, Prime, iPlayer). All are working fine except iPlayer which has no sound. I’m using my TV’s native sound output, no sound d bar or external speakers etc. Connected via HDMI, exactly as was prior to update (when iPlayer had sound)… Whats changed after update and how can I get sound on iPlayer?
