Upgrade from TiVo to Virgin media 360 - Code error M63
Hi, Upgraded from TiVo to Virgin Media 360 just before 18th December 2025 and received the new 360 remote a few days later, but my box was still awaiting the update to 360 download icon. Anyway I received a text on Friday 2nd January 2026 to say that I’ve successfully been updated to Virgin Media 360. Only problem now my box now says: You have recently had an issue on your account. If you are still experiencing reduced functionality, call us on UNKNOWN. With the following error code: Code M63 means your Virgin Media account isn't set up correctly If you've only just set up your TV box, or have recently called us about this issue, leave the TV box for 2 hours while it connects to our network. If you're still seeing the code, or haven't recently set up the box, please chat to one of our team. This code only affects our Virgin TV V6 boxes and Tivo boxes. Does anyone know if this can be resolved, without the need for a technician visit. I’ve tried the following holding + holding power whilst restarting the box in order to try and force the update and/or holding - whilst restarting but this has not fixed the issue. Anyway advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. 😌289Views0likes5Comments
V6 Upgrade Questions
I have just started the process to upgrade our two V6 boxes to 360 and I have a few questions: Will we get sent two new remotes or will I have to request a second one separately? The V6 box in the living room is wired up normally, but the one in our bedroom is "dumb" in as much as it doesn't have a coax cable plugged in and just connects wirelessly to the living room box. Will this box still get the upgrade app, or do I need to connect it more directly to the network (e.g. via ethernet)? Will the bedroom box still only be able to get recordings off the one in the living room or will it gain the ability to record things separately? Thanks in advance for any answers provided.154Views0likes5CommentsVirgin 360 is appalling
I’ve just submitted this as a complaint and I’m copying my complaint here. I wish I’d read these reviews before I upgraded. It looks like I’m not the only one. I called three weeks ago to report a minor fault on my TiVo box. I was advised “you need to upgrade to Virgin 360“. Your technician advised me with all confidence, “It’s much better, it’s quicker, you’ll have much more facilities than you have on the V6 system.” I did as I was advised. He was lying through his teeth. Virgin 360 is absolutely atrocious. Far worse than the V6 system I’ve enjoyed for 10-15 years. Far worse in every respect. The only benefit it gives me a occasionally being able to log onto other TV channels such as iPlayer and ITV X, which is of no use to me because I can do that from my smart TV. Let me list for you the way in which it is abysmal. It fails to record programs which I have set. It records a program but only records half of it. It records a completely different program to the one I’ve set, (I was actually watching a TV program late night, pressed record and went to bed, and when I got up the next morning it had recorded something completely different.) Frequently, very often, when I go to play a show I have recorded and which is showing in my recordings I get an error message, saying the show cannot be played. This happens a lot. When I login into iPlayer, next time I go to iPlayer, it wants me to login with a QR code all over again. This has happened to me several times in one week. Logging straight back in is about 50% effective. Numerous programs and channels showing in the TV Guide, I can no longer record. That never happened under V6. In addition, there are all those facilities I used to have that are no longer available. I used to be able to: Pause and go forward in slow motion Pause and go forward a frame at a time. (Useful watching sport). Go forward on record recordings or paused TV 15 minutes at a time. Watch at accelerated speed with Sound. Fast forward and when I press pause, it would jump back slightly so I hadn’t overshot what I was looking for. Move the TV guide forward in two hour blocks. Revert to the previous channel I was watching, with one click of a dedicated button. Subdivide my recordings into movies only, or partially watched. Recover recordings which I had deleted recently. And the remote control had dedicated buttons for, “info“, “subtitles,“ “my recordings” Overall, the previous V6 system apart from one or two minor issues, was flexible, user friendly and extremely robust. In contrast the 360 system is inflexible, flaky, falling apart, not user friendly, not enjoyable to use at all. Absolutely [REMOVED] useless.688Views1like15Comments360 upgrade email
Hi I received the email to upgrade my two v6 boxes to tv 360 I clicked the link and put in my name and email address but it then just took my to my account page and don’t seem to have any confirmation that the update request has gone though. Is possible for someone to check this for me. Thank youSolved191Views0likes2Comments360 remote no switch app on v6
Received 360 remote 4 days ago. Current box is v6 Have spent hours searching tips etc & following online instructions including disconnecting v6 box, rebooting wifi etc etc and still no switch app on the apps page. All options I can see online are now exhausted. Spent 2 hours trying to speak to virgin customer services and continually placed in a doom loop of recorded messages then cut off. Can't get through to a human. Have given up so any advice welcome. Thank you.111Views0likes3Comments
V6 not recording during standby
I have recently had my V6 TV box upgraded via software to 360 and have also received a new remote. In the settings there is a standby mode with timings of 4,5,6 & 24hrs before the box will switch off if idle and hasn't detected any active device connected to it. This creates a problem if I want to set to record programmes further ahead of 24hrs as when I am away the box will switch off and will therefore not record the set programmes. There is no setting I can find to switch off standby mode. I recently changed the standby timer from 4 to 24hrs as I found the box switched off when idle and did not record any scheduled programmes. Switching to 24hrs has made no difference other than keep the box awake longer so increasing the possibility of detecting a signal from my TV when it is switched on. This is particularly irritating in that if I am away for more than 24hrs there is no certainty that any scheduled recordings will proceed. My tv has a standby mode which can be disabled why has this new 'improved' Virgin box not have the same facility. My current standby settings are active start, 24hrs. My 360 box is Arris-DCX960-MPA+. Please advise if there is a software issue or a possible fault with the box (please note there was no issue before the software upgrade).

So I got swapped to "Virgin TV360" or whatever it is after having this V6 box for ages, which I was quite happy about tbh as it has some serious issues. Anyway, I got a new remote control in the mail. And no box. So we're sat here, and a week later the V6 box updates - all new software, I am guessing this is the 360 box software (which, apparently, works on anything lol) - box is much faster, and I do prefer the layout, but it doesn't turn on with either remote, I have to turn it on at the box which is actually kind of a pain. I do not have time to call, and it's impossible to find an email address that doesn't bounce back, is there someone here that can take my order number or name or whatever, and get my new box sent out please? It's funny it works on the old box, but it's still not flawless.246Views0likes6Comments
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 👌307Views0likes5Comments
