Virgin TV360

Just got a mail from Virgin about doing the trial for the new V6 box. I know it was asked plenty of times on the Virgin Forum when they had reps here. I get there are people with issues with Virgin but at least its progress.

Did you have to pay extra for the remote or did it come with the box?!

- Remotes come with 360 boxes.

I was thinking of signing up but they told me new customers are still being given the Horizon box. What's the deal there? I sign up for the 12 month new customer offer but to get the new box I can request an "upgrade" on day 2 but immediately switch to the full price? Seems a bit ridiculous

- Strictly speaking 360 boxes are only for "exisiting" Customers at the moment.

Obviously this will change in time -don't know when.

Personally I would even call this a soft launch at the moment.

They’re about 5 years too late to pull a two tier old / new hardware approach like Sky Q did back in the day.

1. Sky+ HD was rock solid - Horizon absolutely is not and
2. Sky Q launched at a time when that stuff was impressive.
It’s expected now and there are two extremely well developed IPTV services from Eir & Vodafone, Sky Q is well established, Now TV, Netflix, Prime, excellent FTA / Freesat options including built into many TVs...

Roll out the new tech and stop messing people around or you’ll lose customers.

Hi, I would be grateful for some help from anyone who has set up a 360 box. Got delivery today . At the moment the access point on the wall has one outlet which goes to my hub. It sems I need a two way splitter to connect to the hub and the new 360 box but there was none in the box. Tried to contact VM but no luck. My TV is right beside the hub. So basically is there any way I can proceed without the splitter ?

Pop down to your local hardware and get an F-way splitter. They are about a euro. Be much faster than contacting Virgin.

If you have one VM connection point then yes you will need to order a splitter from VM, contact them on WhatsApp, I find it easier.

I have the 360 box a week now. Very impressed really snappy and fast, when navigating through the menus and guide. Voice control excellent, Going from Horizon to 360 is like night and day massive improvment. Hopefully more 4k content over time and a dedicated 4K channel would be a bonus, overall very good glad I upgraded.

Powercity might also have them.

Does a new router come with the package? Am on the fence about this too, thanks!

If you don't have a white Compal Modem you will get a new one. If you already have one you won't need it replaced.

But are people getting the white compal ones or is there a newer one?
Still using cisco 3925, didnt want the compal one due to the intel puma issues.

Delta2113

You get a compal Modem. Other Modem still being tested presumably.

Is it possible to sign up for the TV 360 box and the 500mb Broadband but not the Home Phone part? From my reading all the packages offered on the website all seem to include Home Phone.

They might take you off it if you asked them but the price is the same as far as I know so it wouldn't make much difference.

Ok thanks.

The VM home phone gives you free calls to (in my case) USA, France, UK and more.

My box arrived earlier today and it's now set up. So much better than the old Horizon box. I am still playing about with it but I am liking it more and more.

Ordered last Friday,they kept messing up the order, kept telling me it was coming out next day,waited in all week for non existent delivery.
Customer service is mediocre,was then told it was held because they didn't know if it was a self install or if an engineer was to come out.
Finally got a text from nightline couriers to say it's coming Monday ,order was confirmed on Thursday for delivery Friday,so much for 24 delivery too.

No longer with Virgin but in the early days of Horizon had to use the manufacturer (Samsung if I recall) + their model number to get it working.

Apart from the Virgin branding are there any other manufacturer/model numbers on the underside/back (probably where you would also find serial number)?

What 4k content is available at the moment?

It's made by Humax who are a polish company it seems. Even has the exact model number on it but there's pretty much no record of it anywhere...

I'm hoping someone will figure out how to make it work but with how much the new box improves over the old, I can live without it

- No. You need Broadband for it to work fully.

Shamrock 64

Can you use the power cord supplied straight to the box or do you have to use the big adaptor yoke in between like with the horizon box.Thanks.

Delta2113

Similar to Horizon - you have a AC Adaptor block.
