    Is there a way to fast forward through a recording by 1 minute at a time like there was on the Horizon box?

    Rapidly pressing the left (10 seconds rewind) and right (30 seconds FF) buttons allows you to jump in steps while playing a recording. I've looked and can't see if you can change those increments.

    Got my multi room boxes today but I can't get through the installation with error code CS1010 on boot up each time.
    Couldn't really get any info from Virgin before they closed for the day.

    Anyone experience this and get through it?.

    They are sending out an engineer on the 5th Oct about the multiroom box which only boots into the CS1010 screen but I have the main box working with a couple of gitches. Like power on via the remote boots it into the Setup and Please Wait welcome screen but manual press of the blue botton on the face of the actual box powers it on properly.

    btw has anyone managed to find set a Harmony remote control that works?. The 'Virginmedia V6' seems to be there but doesn't work?.

    Use 'upc mediabox' that's what finally got it to work for me.

    I cycled through the TV360 'power on standby' settings and this is what the box was using after about an hour on standby using the various settings....

    Fast 9.9W
    Active 1.3W
    Eco 0.2W

    On my Horizon box, the Eco setting meant that the box took an age to boot up but the TV360 starts up in less than 30 seconds when it was on standby in Eco mode so can't really see why you'd use any other setting. And while the box downstairs was in Eco mode on standby, I was able to kickoff a recording from the multiroom box upstairs.

    I can't remember the default setting when you complete the initial setup but if your TV360 box is set to 'Fast', you might as well not bother switching it off at night. Because you'd only be saving about 1W if you do.

    Same here, should be €94 it says €109. Time for a 5 hour online chat with “customer service”

    Follow up on this, they are saying it’s a “probate” charge they can’t explain what a “probate charge” is & tell me my next bill will be €84 but when told it should be €94 they say it’s €20 off for 5 months not €10 for 12 !

    Neither them or me clearly know wtf is going on

    Gone from my non-Horizon HD box too. Along with the Disney Channels which are now only available with Disney+, so that's 1 HD and 3 SD channels removed since yesterday. The 3 Disney channels are on 774, 775 and 776 so recordings can stil be watched in the "dummy" section

    Lads I don't keep a track of these things but I have the "best" Horizon box (Virgin Full House 500) which is a heap of sh!t.

    It seems it's the V6 box that I want.

    They did re-label Sky Sports Action to Sky Sports NFL but in recent days it's gone back to Sky Sports Action. Sky Cinema Disney is staying on if you subscribe to Sky Movies.

    Go to System and then Factory reset - not sure if it looks for a pin 1234 or 0000.

    Let it do it's thing for awhile. Won't do any harm but may not work at the same time.

    The new box is called 360. It’s actually a slight step up from the v6 box.

    If it's a brand new box, I can't see what difference it's going to make. But there's no stored recordings so it can't do any harm either.

    I rang up this morning. Was quoted €104 a month up from my current €99. But there's also a "one time activation" fee of €50. Based on some of the other posts here (LoughC) I thought I might get offered a better deal. Haven't decided what to do yet (which means I know I need the new box but trying to get used to the idea of paying out more money).

    You should charge them the installation fee.

    Login to https://www.virginmedia.ie/ and click 'upgrade'. Then select a bundle with the TV360 box in the graphic. You should be able to avoid any activation fee.

    Renamed the thread to reflect that it’s officially launched today

    And it now appears, as a poster said in a previous post - that you cannot now take a TV product without also taking VM broadband and phone. This means that Sky is the only major pay TV provider that now does not require you to also take their broadband as a condition of taking TV. Yes, I know Vodafone and Eir also did so, but they had good technical reasons for that to be the case (their product is IPTV, Virgin’s is cable TV). It seems Virgin just decided that it’s what the others are doing, let’s do the same.

    Virgin Media have good technical reasons to insist on broadband with TV 360 - Channel 200 is IPTV and On Demand and watching your recordings on a 2nd box all runs over the internet.

    Went in and it says im already paired but im not. Anyway Ill give it another run. I think there might be conflict with the other remote. Might take the batteries out of that for a while. Cant do it right now someone is watching the news!

    EDIT: It just synced of its own accord there so all well volume wise.

    The issue I have now is everytime I switch off and on the box I need to unplug and plug back in the HDMI cable to see live tv otherwise its either welcome screen or white snow.
