V6 issue this morning.
 

Anyone else having problems with their V6 this morning?

It was playing up last night, but a reboot fixed most things apart from error code C501 coming up when I tried to search for other showings in Planned Recordings and some other screens too.

Just tried to do a 'Connect to Virgin Media' which failed, yet my internet is working.

I also tried to clear it's cache using the method from the old TiVo, does this not work with the V6?

VM were closed last night and still are :(

Thanks.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Sounds like the servers were down. It could be planned maintenance at that time of day.

What do you mean by "I also tried to clear it's cache"?

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

TiVo is suffering from network issues this morning.

Error messages have now stopped - but CU/OD menus not available and images don't appear to be loaded.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

National issue for TiVo / V6 now shown on the Service Status. Hopefully will be fixed soon.

Thanks BenMcr as l thought something was amiss this morning.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

I had the same problem this morning also the v6 appeared to be incredibly slow.

A re-boot resolved my issues

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Our boxes are fine now.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Thumbs up, thumbs down and pressing play 3 times.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

I have a problem with my V6, it records a load of crap.

However having checked the TV guides, it appears that's all that's on....

🤣🤣🤣

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

You do realise that there are more channels available other than Talking Pictures, don't you, Mr K? :D

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Bad news for you OB, another TP type channel called Retro Movies has started on satellite, maybe VM might add this to their line up too!

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

A channel I will certainly seek to avoid, Richard. But if it pleases Mr K.....

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Getting the wheel of death every time I try to view a recording this morning - this happened during the previous problems

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

yesterday I was getting SEVERE pixilation when using catch-up. Rebooting the box sorted it but surely this is a weakness in the V6 box. I have had to reboot a few times in the past though pixilation was worse yesterday.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Catch up tv, unless in hd from the BBC, is of very low bitrate and will pixelate. Best to record for best quality im afraid.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

thanks for that

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

There is a server outage this morning. It is being worked on as a matter of urgency. Please bear with it.

Not normal behaviour. You should report it to VM.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Yes I missed a crucial episode of 'Hi De Hi' due to a poor signal, how will i ever catch up ? :cry:

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Go on YouTube as it might be on there Mr K.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

These problems seem to be more frequent recently.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

It depends on the provider.

The Virgin Exclusives are good quality, but I don't often use the on demand service apart from that and the BBC i-Player, which is good. The Sky stuff seems to be all right as well, come to think of it.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

A few times i've found that Sky Cinema on demand immediately makes the box freeze and require a reboot to get out of it.

I now always make sure that there's nothing recording before attempting to use it just in case.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

I've never had that. Worth reporting?

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Not really worth it as it's only happened about four times in the last 6 months.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Interesting how my recordings are stored.

Downstairs V6 lists the NRL, Super Rugby, Aviva Premier and Super League in stacks as per normal.

Upstairs V6 has separate entries for each recording.

Any ideas why?

I can answer my own question. For some reason I was viewing recordings using the sport selection on the upstairs box rather than All as I usually do.

Not sure why this shows them individually though - just a quirk I suppose.

Re: V6 issue this morning.
 

Lately my V6 has been recording duplicate episodes of programmes. It has happened several times and often seems to be a repeat of the final episode of a series. In each case I set my recording preferences to 'new only' 'HD if possible' and to a specific channel if relevant. It seems that if a programme is marked 'new' in the guide then it will be recorded irrespective of whether it has already been recorded or not. All of the duplicate recordings are marked as 'new'. Far better than missing a recording but odd all the same. Anyone else experienced similar?
