Virgin TV360

Post #1058 above ?

Had sky q with 2 mini boxes. Never managed to have a problem free service. Mini always disconnecting, or not connecting at all. A totally frustrating service. Always had to try and reconnect. Totally useless.

Going back to VM with just one incoming connection. I'd advise anyone considering going to Sky for multiroom to think again. Engineers can't even get the finger out and sort the connection issues.

Connected wirelessly in our case and no option of connection via cable was offered as a solution.

Am afraid that the current solutions offered by most providers fall far short of expectations in this day and age.

No longer have the box and cant recall if it does.

The Mini Boxes had to connect to the main Q box... One engineer had a solution of placing an extender of sorts in the dining room, which sat between the living room where the main box was, and the kitchen, where one of the mini boxes where. The house is not huge, so I couldn't think of why the connection was so rubbish.

Avoid the damn thing if you want to keep your sanity.

It looks like we’re not getting the extra Eurosport channels on VM for this Winter Olympics. We did get them for the 2018 Winter Olympics but not the Tokyo Summer Olympics last year. I don’t know why we’re not getting them as by rights we should be getting them.

As oft quoted by the poor chaps and ladies who have to run the spiel for VM - it's all about "broadcasting rights".

More like "our irish cousins should be grateful that they pay a premium for sub-par services"

Hi I'm currently getting a unit built for the TV, unfortunately it is a distance away from the Virgin Media box and I need to get an extension cable from the VM wall box to the 360 set top box and the cable isn't long enough. Does any one know the specs of this cable so I can source a longer one or it it a propriety VM one?

Anyone else's Program Guide gotten really slow lately?

Any sign of VM carrying BBC3 again - now that it's back as a broadcast channel and apparently available on Freeview, Sky and Virgin Media in the UK?

I just got VM 360 tv (I have been broadband only for years). I connected up using a splitter in the attic and using an existing cable that was installed a few years ago from attic to the tv room downstairs.

Problem is only some of the channells are working, for a lot of the channells I get a message saying 'check your cables, etc'. A few of the channells work and then throw up the error and then display again, repeats every 10 or 20 seconds. Other channells are working fine.

Any ideas what could be causing this? i thought if it was a dodgy cable or connections then I would not get any signal, all or nothing, but I seem to have a few channells?

Thanks

Just to close out on this in case anyone else has a similar problem in the future. I replaced all the connectors, signal improved but still had problems with not getting all channels and sometimes losing signal. I ended up having to replace the cable itself, it looks like there was a break somewhere in it but I could not find it. Anyhow, all good now that cable has been replaced.
