A surround sound system or soundbar is much better than TV speakers :D

Do you use a sound bar instead of the TV speakers or with? Was thinking of getting one is why I ask.

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

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

Ok great. As I said I'm thinking of getting one in the not too distant future.

My V6 box was last online about 4pm yesterday and since then will not go online and getting the code C233 saying lnvalid network settings but i have not changed them.

so is this the problem that others are having?

Hi Sam,

Like Stuart says, you use the soundbar instead of the TV speakers. Even if you have a decent tv with a great picture, the speakers aren't always the best. Using a soundbar or surround sound will definitely improve the audio for the things that you watch. They make everything sound a lot clearer.

We bought a half price soundbar when we bought our new TV and the sound is magnificent.

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

Thanks for the help. I have started looking at the various makes. Any suggestions?

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

I did notice yesterday that our On demand went off line in the afternoon. There was quite a bit of lag/spinning circle when trying to access some of the internet based apps/areas of the interface last night as well. I had assumed there was some network issue. Hopefully it's resolved itself by now. I'm not at home to check, unfortunately.

App's are back but on demand is still off

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

I would suggest going with the same make as your TV. If it's Samsung or LG you can then connect the newer models wirelessly through Blue Tooth.

If you have a curved TV, some makes do have curved soundbars too.

Got a Samsung TV,not curved or smart.

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

Samsung soundbar probably be best then mate. You might be able to hook it up wirelessly, if not, definitely with an optical cable.

My optical cable is from the TV to the surround, so if I'm watching movies on the V6 box or watching Netflix through PS4 or the TV app, the sound is always brilliant.

Thanks I'll look at getting a Samsung one then. Thanks for your advice.
