Virgin TV360

Do you mean you have two of the big 360 boxes or a 360 box and a mini box? I thought all the big 360 boxes had a HD.

I think some are referring to a 360 box with a hard drive and a 360 box without a hard drive as the same thing.

A 360 box without a hard drive is a MRV 360 box. As outlined before, you cannot have two 360 boxes with a hard drive on the same account.

A apollo mini can operate as a main box and/or a MRV and you could have a 360 box with a hard drive and a MRV 360 box and a apollo mini on the same account.

If main 360 box has a hard drive then an apollo on the same account would stream recordings from main 360 box and not use the cloud. If apollo is the main box then it would be cloud recordings and any further boxes would be apollo.

Noticed CNN black screen last night - not a Virgin media issue and widely reported on X.

Still standard definition - not HD unfortunately.

Technically it's more than a 50% reduction, as there's only 4 MTV Music channels 😀

MTV (650) is an Entertainment channel, enough though it sits in the Music genre

I have a TV360 box and all my gear is compatible with 4K/UHD. I have phone, BB and TV and according to my most recent VM bill, my package is the 'Bigger than Big Bundle'.

I came across a VM News website which discusses what UHD programs are available in June. In the article, it says the following …

If you’re not yet enjoying shows in UHD and you want to, you’ll need to be a Maxit or MegaTV customer with a compatible television and a Virgin TV V6 box, powered by TiVo®, a Virgin TV 360 box or Stream. Don’t have an Ultra HD or 4K telly? No problem. Virgin Maxit and MegaTV TV customers can still watch the channel through an HD set with a Virgin TV V6 box, powered by TiVo®, a Virgin TV 360 box or Stream. Simply go to CH 175 or CH 999 and start watching.

It's saying that the channel is 175 or 999 but on my TV, channel 175 is the Food Network and 999 takes me to Netflix. Can someone please tell me how I can get the Maxit or MegaTV package? I want to stay with my TV360 box as I want to be able to continue to record RTE and BBC.

If you have the TV 360 box with the hard drive and it went faulty are they not replacing it like for like anymore ?

Shin

Im watching ok - either live or recorded - but had issue earlier with recordings.

same here - time is showing over a greyish half transparent "smudge'', noticed over the last few days - believe it's the try to make the time readable where the screen might have a white area in the top right

• 4Music
• The Box
• Kiss
• Magic
• Kerrang!

Noticed them gone from EPG the next morning - very quick from Virgin Media for a change.

they only give out the smaller streaming only box now. be aware that you cannot record from BBC channels with this box

Also removed yesterday, or maybe before then, two SD simulcasts

709 - BBC Two NI

711 - Channel 4 (ROI Adverts)

You know it probably depends on the agent you get speaking with. In theory if you negotiate a deal to stay then you should continue with same equipment and the TV360 box which is well worth keeping.

However you get a new agent or they make a mistake and suddenly a Courier is at your door with a new small Apollo box.

Just make sure if you negotiate a deal you make it very clear you are keeping the same equipment and tell them make sure they don't send you a new streaming box. Good luck.

Thanks @Delta2113 and @Clitheroekid. Good to know.

Looks like Virgin will finally be getting a (temporary) 4K channel

Virgin Media Ireland: Customers can enjoy all the action on Eurosport 1&2 and the Eurosport linear pop-up channels

There's no mention of that in the provided article.

Channel 400 - Eurosport 4K 🙃

ITV4 is currently unavailable on channel 156. The “Service not available due to copyright restrictions” slide has been on screen since the Tour de France coverage was blocked on Sunday. They seem to have forgotten to switch the channel back on.

Itv4 is back - hopefully they re-checked all settings for the next week or so at least.

Im not able to on 360

I wonder were the non-HD versions of BBC2 (709) and CH4 (711) dropped from TV360 to make way for the additional Eurosport Olympic channels and will we get them back in a few weeks? I often used to record programs on those channnels where HD was not a priority, to save space on the hard drive.

The BBC did a big overhaul of their streams I think they removed all the SD channels.
