Virgin TV360

If your still on the Hybrid fiber-coaxial network you will still get a 360 box (not streaming little box).

360 boxes are not old. Customer's only ever have 1 horizon box at a time. Router is probably a Compal modem. I wouldn't get rid off them as you might get charged.

Cancelled a box last week,they told me to recycle it myself.

They don't collect them anymore.

So this equipment is at least 2 years old. I cancelled my contract and switched to Vodafone 5G broadband, and was getting speeds of ~800MB (as I was in line of site of the cell tower). But moved to a different part of Dublin and the speeds were a fraction of that, so went back to VM. I asked if I could use the old equipment and they said they would have to send new routers etc. I'll contact them again and see if they want the equipment back.

EPG reckons RTE are starting Neighbours from episode 1 next Monday Sept. 18 (as in 1985) and Craig Doyle is new host for The NFL show but they still have Laura Wood in the photo. Obviously need's more manual intervention.

Right so, that actually took effort to get wrong.

If you have Movies in HD, 301 should give you premiere - if you have SD, 351 should give you premiere. If neither work then you could try a full power down (unplug and no power for at least 30 seconds) and then try selecting channel again.

They have a way to send a signal to your box to refresh your subscriptions (box needs to be on a channel for this). If your 100% sure your still paying for them they should be working.

If you are no longer paying for them and somehow they got switched off then obviously you will need to ask them to put you back on.

Highly unlikely box is the issue and you don't need a Technician to call out but you might need them to send that signal out to your box. A refresh or hit I think it's called.

Yes you can.

157 - 'Pick' renamed 'Sky Mix' with a purple logo. Sky and VM (UK) have a blue logo on their EPGs/online guides. The Pick logo is stil present in the manage channels section

Freeview (UK) is the only other platform to have the SD version. Freesat, VM (UK) and Sky all replaced the SD version of Pick to the HD version of Sky Mix. AFAIK Vodafone and eir didn't carry Pick

If I swap the Northside and Southside boxes, will the Northside one play it's recordings on the Southside of the city? And will the Southside box provide TV on the Northside? I just want to get some recorded programmes off a Virgin box located on the Northside.

Are VM broadcasting any programs in 4K/UHD these days? My Samsung TV says that everything coming from the TV360 box is UHD. I thought this was the AV receiver upscaling everything but when I bypassed the AVR and connected the TV360 box direct to the TV, it's still telling me that everything is UHD, even programs with terrible picture quality such as The Chase or Bullseye on Challenge! So it appears that, if your TV supports UHD, the TV360 box will send it a UHD signal, regardless of the source.

Hence, I can't be certain if the likes of Planet Earth III is HD or UHD. It's definitely a brilliant picture but is there somewhere I can check to see if VM is sending us output in UHD these days?

Planet Earth III is only UHD on the BBC iPlayer

Wonder will they ever change the Sky Sports Golf logo. It's currently Sky Sports The Masters.

Updated my old horizon box to the streaming box, fibre connection, my advice is don't do it, can't record a lot of tv due to copyright BS, e.g. can't record tonight's Ireland v Netherlands soccer match!, also the fibre cable has plug into the router so they drilled a hole through the hall wall and left router etc on the hall floor, far from a tidy job!
