Virgin TV360

My next best guess is closing 1AM April 12 2022 because yes you guessed it EPG was wrong. Another guess channel will still be called Virgin Media Sport during the day and Virgin Media More at night - all this messing damages the brand if you ask me.

Most LIVE Sport will be at night and on Virgin Media More and not on Virgin media Sport.

Once again, more "attention to detail" lacking from Virgin Media

The channel was called Virgin Media Sport

No ads for the moment on Virgin media More but they couldn't resist having a D.O.G. If you have the 360 box just use On Demand and watch whatever you want that way with no D.O.G.. Some show's are up a few hours ahead off screening on the channel.

Hopefully we get BBC3 on 116 soon.

W on 720 makes zero sense ( I know you can personalise channels the way you want).

I agree with most of your post except I like having the SD versions of channels as SD takes up far less disc space when recording. I watch live in HD but try to record in SD where possible. Also I’m not aware of any Lip Sync issues on any of the channels that I watch.

I'm sorry but it's SD. There has never been a HD version of Sky Sports Box on UPC/Virgin Media boxes

I took a picture of the PPV event you mentioned, which states the programme is SD quality, as I thought this issue might come up (Image attached), as the Title of 862 is PPV HD in error

Also, in the 2nd image you'll see Virgin Media state the channel is only available in SD in the booklet provided with the 360 Box

I believe you, I can't confirm if it's SD or HD as I've never purchased a PPV event on VM

I'm only going on what was on previous UPC/VM boxes, when there was 2 PPV channels in the 800's and both were SD, and that the 360 box stated that programme you watched was flagged as SD using the Info button and that the booklet which came with the 360 box states it is SD (in the images above)

I know the Label and Logo say HD, but Logos and Channel Names are never 100% correct when it comes to UPC/VM. Even Virgin Media More on channel 100 doesn't have HD in the title even though it is HD

Haha this whole thing has made me question it but I'm like 99.99999999% certain. I remember after I got the text that the order had been processed I went and checked the channel to make sure it was HD and it was on that kind of banner thing at that stage (it's like a red screen with event details and pictures of the two headline fighters etc) and I was happy that it was, pretty sure it had the Sky Sports Box Office HD watermark in the top right and all.

I was thinking that maybe the channel is generally in SD but the events are in HD if that makes sense? Also I have Sky Sports HD so I'm assuming it would be SD if I didn't have that

Well, the next time there's a PPV worth getting, I'll be sure to grab it and hopefully I'll remember to come back to this tread to say if I was right or an idiot :P

The hardware is on Test here as an additional wi-fi 360 box but yes I doubt you will see an option like that here at least for awhile. Channels are streamed not DVB-C.

Havea look at the channel list, it includes RTE 1, RTE 2 and TG4 ?? I'm guessing this is a list for Virgin Northern Ireland ?

Correct - those channels anly available to stream in Northern Ireland.

Setting up TV360 for family member... weird remote problem.

Trying to pair the remote with the box and I see a message "Pairing Failed" when I hold down TV button and 0.

So the remote is communicating to the box and the box is aware something is trying to communicate with it... but pairing won't stick.

I tried reset of remote using TV button and rewind.

Tried new batteries.

Restarted box.

What's weird is that the old remote for a DVR set top box does work.

Anyone find that they get dumped into an Amazon Prime menu when trying to replay an older RTE program via the TV360 box?

I saw that RTE was repeating the 'Great Lighthouses of Ireland' series - episode 2 was on last night (Sun 15th). So I brought up the 'episodes' option, selected episode 1 and watched about two-thirds of it. It was using the RTE player because I wasn't allowed to FF through the ad breaks. When I later wanted to watch the remainder of episode 1, I thought it would come up on the 'continue watching' screen but it didn't appear there so I chased it down again from the 'episodes' option of the EPG listing for Sunday's episode. When I selected the 'watch' option, the screen went blank, up comes an Amazon Prime logo and it's asking me to sign up! It listed the Great Lighthouses series, showed me that episode 1 was available but I would have to sign up to view it.

Edit: it since occurred to me that I started watching episode 1 while episode 2 was being broadcast so ep1 was not yet 7 days old. When I went to watch the remainder of ep1, ep2 had finished so ep1 was now more than 7 days old and maybe that's why I could no longer watch it for free?

Edit 2: went into the RTE player off my Samsung TV menu and it's letting me watch ep1 for free. TV360 box is still dropping me into an Amazon Prime menu when I ask to view ep1.

Just saw an advert for the England game this Saturday on Channel 4 HD and it said not available in The Republic of Ireland. I then checked EPG on Virgin 360. No indication game will be blocked. If it is blocked I'm guessing it will be the first time ever any programme on Channel 4 got blocked on cable since the channel started in 1982 (think Htv got removed then on Cablelink for it).

Ireland AM is the only show that is missing the replay function for me from all the Virgin channels.

Content unavailable in the ROI now added to description in EPG for England game Saturday.

Let's hope this is a once off for Channel 4 and not a taste off things to come.

At least Channel 4 did produce a nice not available screen for their SD channel. I’m assuming the message on the HD channel has been produced by Virgin Media themselves.

Anyone else find audio very low on BBC1 HD compared to other channels 0n 360 box?

Anyone willing to have a guess as to when (date/month/year 😀) the VM 360 box will update these rebrands with correct logos and names?

29th June - 4Music and Box Hits rebranding - https://www.channel4.com/press/news/e4-brand-extension-sees-4music-become-e4-extra

30th June - CBS and Horror Channel rebranding - https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/freeview-freesat-cbs-channels-big-revamp/

26th July - Syfy HD & SD rebranding - https://www.skygroup.sky/article/syfy-channel-re-brands-to-sky-sci-fi-offering-new-shows-and-fan-favourites

It amazes me how over in the UK, Virgin Media constantly update logos on their boxes and website, even with the nearly daily rebrands of Sky Cinema - https://virgintvgo.virginmedia.com/en/tv/tv-guide.html and over here, VM cannot do it

Father saying that the voice control on his tv 360 remote no longer working on his tv

Don't use it myself but anything he can do to try and fix it

The 2 rebrands that occurred last week have been updated with the correct names and logos, although with 4Music rebranding to E4 Extra, there's now 2 Entertainment channels in the Music section (MTV being the other channel). Speaking of which, the names and logos of the MTV music channels are out of date
