Has it been disconnected in the past and are you presently a subscriber.

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

what do you mean disconnected in the past? and yes i have been a sibscriber for many years

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

It's dead and will need replacing. Give Virgin a call.

ps. Welcome to the forum!

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

If you have been a subscriber for many years, what equipment have you been using to receive the channels that you have been paying for?

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

well lol if im allowed to say i was using a starview 3 but with the n3 hiting my area soon i wonted to get it up and running again

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

Just make sure the Starview is plugged in and set up in full view when the engineer comes round to replace the SA box

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

ye sure lol new it was a bad idea cummin this forum

The mighty N3 cleans and removes all known dodgy set-tops FAST :LOL:

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

yes i suppose this forum is dosnt like all the dodgy boxes lol

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

Just call 151 from your Virgin Media line and tech Support will arrange for an engineer... shame on you though using a StarView :nono:

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

i know ye buy it was free tho lol

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

I take it you were on the lowest tv pack and the StarView gave you full access to everything? Sports & Movies too.

Well, that party is over... you will have to pay like everyone else I'm afraid..The StarView will be next to useless very soon! :p:

How long has the SA box been unplugged for?

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

yes thats what im getting at next week i will be calling vm to come and set me up with v+ xD erm the box has been unplugged for about 2months because i work when i last tryed it

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

ok...

I'd call in and get them to replace the SA box or are you gonna just upgrade to V+ ?

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

think ill just give them a call and get me a v+ insted of getting them out twice :) thanks for your help anywayz

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

No problem... I'd do the same if I was going to upgrade. :)

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

still weird it dosnt work lol like it needs to be turned on by the remote but still dosnt work

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

It's a power supply fault, I had it in my Samsung box, disconnect all your illegal shiz and get a tech booked in. Are you on XL? If not, upgrade to XL and then once you have your box replaced, order your V+ box and then you can have the V+ for £75 as long as you keep your other box for multiroom for £5 a month

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

but it was working like few weeks back lol

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

Faults can happen at any time ;)

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

Why are you so concerned? If you are a Virgin Media subscriber and your equipment doesn't work, Virgin Media will come and fix it.

I don't think that Virgin Media send a big heavy round to kneecap you because they now know you have been stealing their service.

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

Shame :p:

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

ok so today i called them and i got the V.I.P pack for £89.50 a month but didnt have to pay the £75.00 for the box do i have to pay for that?

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

No - on VIP you do not pay the V+ installation charge but you will probably have to pay the standard installation charge of £35.

Re: old VM box wont turn on explorer 4000 dvb
 

yea have payed for that :) Thanks
