No, I can't.

But it's clearly a plausible explanation why all of a sudden it's "no it's ok, you don't have to wait 8 weeks anymore, you can have it now" isn't it?

If I connect the V6 box direct to the TV then it work fine. I have tried various combinations of rebooting with no success. Is there a special input or setting I need to use with my receiver

I sorted this out, I just put one of these between the V6 box and the receiver

Does anyone know how to set up the V6 wireless as I can't see a way to do it

Firstly unplug the Ethernet cable. Then go to

Home
Help&Settings
Settings
Network
Change Network Settings
Other Options
Connect to Wi-Fi

No you'll need a different type as it's only up to 1080p only. This one will work https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't think audio quality is the problem it's just the general "loudness". I'm at full volume to get my normal viewing experience. It might be my setup but everything was fine before. Anyone with any similar experience please advise. Thanks :)

Yes. Finally someone with the same issue as me. I have to turn the TV up to 60/100 to get a reasonable volume. We have the same issue with a Sony 23" TV as well as a Sony 43" TV. The older 500GB TiVo didn't have the issue when used with the 23" TV, from what I recall it we only needed to turn the volume up to around 25 to get the same volume.

TV connected using HDMI, no external surround system.

I have tried changing from "Dolby Dolby" to "Dolby Digital to PCM" but the volume is identical.

I must admit that the volume seems slightly higher with the V6 compared to the TIVO

Strangely, this is a common complaint with Sky+HD boxes.

Could it be that before the Tivo wasn't using DD, so now that the new box is on DD the overall sound level is perceived as low? Is ITV HD (that doesn't use DD) louder than other channels?

(Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 have a greater dynamic range to allow for explosions and other filmic stuff. The average level is correspondingly lower so may seem quiet.)

Can't you multi-home it and simply connect both?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

You can't set up WiFi whilst Ethernet is connected and if you connect the Ethernet after you've set up WiFi, the V6 will change to only using Ethernet.

There is no way to get it use both network connections at the same time.
