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.

Got the boxes and must say they are a significant improvement however only being able to pause tv for 2.5 mins on the second box is a bit poor.

7/10 - Room to improve Vs 3/10 for Horizon box (on a good day!)

3/10 for the horizon is very generous

Have Virgin Media stated when the 360 boxes will be standard for all new customers? Interested to know when they plan on retiring the Horizon box.

Thought they said 1st October.

- Press record and then do your pause on 360 boxes other than the main box - not ideal but a work around.

When my remote freezes i press the home button below the power buttons and it fixes it

Didn’t work I’m afraid. Anyone else’s remotes keep getting stuck ? Only fix is to reboot the box every time

Has anyone experienced problems with the TV guide? BBC1 is coming up as to be announced for Saturday. Only this channel is like that.

- That's like that for weeks. Nearer Saturday it will have full listing.

Yellowstone was on RTE2 earlier and not in EPG so series link would not work.

My TV power / volume control using the 360 remote stopped working today, can someone please give instructions on how to configure? TIA.

"You can pair them at any time by holding down the “TV” ( to the right of the Home button) and “0” buttons for 10 seconds. The light on the front panel will flash and the remote should now be paired with the Virgin TV 360 box and TV."

Thanks for that but the issue is not pairing the remote. The remote works with all the box functions fine. It's the control of the TV power and volume that I'm having Ian issue with. Can't get it to work.

goto setting and into "pair remote with sound system" click this and it will take you through setting up your remote for power and volume

News at 5.30 EPG says Theresa May will formally trigger Article 50 beginning the Brexit process. This is not the first time I have seen this description.

Does Sky have same info?

In virgin media’s defence before COVID that was all that was on the news. So it would have been a good shout. :pac:

Will they honour that if you already have 3 of the services? Previously you didn't need to lie and could get the discounted price! Must check on the mobile site, that had different pricing on it before as well...

Just to confirm, €10 discount comes up on the mobile website:rolleyes:! Ordered last night...

I'm a TV, BB and home phone subscriber with a Horizon and one multiroom box. I'm looking at the TV360 upgrade options on the VM website.

In terms of features, the only difference between the 'Full House 500' (€99 p.m.) and 'The bigger than big bundle' (€104 p.m.) is that the more expensive option has no 'No once off Virgin TV360 activation fee'.

But if I select 'Full House 500' (the cheapest bundle) and go to checkout, there is no activation fee mentioned. And it's offering me multiroom for €11 p.m. which is the rate for the old (pre-TV360) boxes, it's supposed to be €15 p.m. for the new boxes.

Am I in danger of ordering a replacement Horizon box here? There is no mention of TV360 when checking out

Hi

A question directed to anyone who has the new Virgin 360 package.

I currently have a Horizon box and am looking to upgrade to the 360 package. Just wondering if the features that I like from the Horizon box, like automatically recording 5min before and 15m after a program, and the custom setting of skip forward and backward length are still in the new box?

I don't want to end up with a service that has remove the good features

My main reason for thinking of changing is in the hope that it will be easier to navigate around recorded programmes and to find on demand programmes.

Manual record time before and after programs is still available, there is variable skip forward and backward but not available manually.

Hi Padraig, yes both of those features are still available and the box is much quicker and more responsive.

Can they be set in settings? I normally have a skip forward 30 secs and skip back 10 secs.

Default on 360 is skip forward 30 seconds and back 10 seconds.

Where do you find the facility to change the skip forward settings?

They've changed the graphics on the upgrade page. Or maybe I just didn't notice the other day......

The 'Full House 500' is indeed a Horizon bundle, 'The Bigger than Big' and 'The Beast' bundles are both TV360.

Happy enough with 500 Mbps BB so ordered the 'Bigger than Big' bundle.

Has anyone discovered a diagnostics/engineer mode page yet?

I am looking for more detailed signal information. All I can find in relation to signal information is "Good" on the Network Diagnostics page.

Who thinks up those ridiculous bundle names? It's like they're trying to sell to children:mad::mad:

I’ve noticed Russia Today has been removed from the V360 box but is still on the EPG on the Horizon box. Not that I watch it.

killbillvol2

I finally got a chance to compare this to Sky Q for those with a choice.

While this is a night and day improvement over Horizon it's no competition for Sky Q. Given that it's pretty much the same price or more expensive there's no contest.

I'm Surprised not more people are complaining about the fact that you can't record RTE News on 200.
