Remote control playing up.
My V6 has sometimes stopped responding to my remote control and I found I was having to press the command up to four times before it worked!
I assumed that this was because the batteries were running low, but have just replaced them with some new ones and the problem persists. Could it be because the remote control is wearing out? I've had it since approx November 2016 and it's used a lot. If so, will VM supply me with a new one free of charge due to wear & tear? |

Before you order a new remote, try rebooting your V6. Also check the remote is still paired with the box (Help&Settings - Settings - Devices - Remote Control Pairing)
Are all of the buttons affected? |
Re: Remote control playing up.
If needed you can order a new remote via the website. Replaced my Tivo remote for free last weekend, took 5 days but I think the Easter holidays delayed the post as it was delivered via Royal Mail.

I found this from a post on the Community Forum, is this worth trying when I can get someone who is able to bend down to where the V6 is? Try this: 1. Press the Channel Down button on the front of the Virgin TV V6 box for 10 seconds. 2. Then, hold the Info button down on the remote for 7 seconds. 3. The light in the top of the remote will flash green twice. 4. Your remote is now paired, so it'll work even if your box is hiding in a cupboard. |

Instead of step 1, just reboot the box. When it loads back up to the Home screen, it'll automatically be in pairing mode. Then do steps 2, 3 and 4.

Re: Remote control playing up.
The remote will do that if the batteries are no good - I know you said you had changed them.
Could be dirty battery contacts or rechargable batteries being used. The V6 remote seems to require good voltage - which rechargables often don't give. I take it you only have one remote available? Quote:

Re: Remote control playing up.
I have 2 TiVo remotes, both have buttons that won't work, so the 2 are needed to get it to work.
You can only order 1 remote, so when I get the replacement I'll order the 2nd. |
