Please document any V6 issues here.
Instead of spoiling it for those looking forward to getting a V6 in the existing thread and to collate any common issues to feed back to VM, I thought I'd create this thread- hope that's OK with admin.
The other day, I found that the box was behaving erratically. It was as if someone else was pressing the buttons! I tried changing the batteries which didn't help and my carer has checked for any loose connections. Someone suggested using the old remote control without Bluetooth as I thought it could be that that was causing the problem, but alas it made no difference. A reboot cleared it, but the purple circle made a very brief reappearance. The other day when 'Ordinary Lies' was on, it wouldn't let me delete it. Just to add, my broadband keeps going on and off. A phone call about this gave a recording that VM are doing maintenance to our BB, could this be affecting the V6 now that it doesn't have its own modem? I've just turned it on and the phantom button pressing was back, making it impossible to use. I had to wait for my carer to reset it from the actual box. This has again cured the phantom button pressing issue and 'Ordinary Lies' has at last disappeared from the list. However, the reboot interrupted a recording, so I've set it up to record a repeat later today. It deleted the first part as requested, but won't allow me to delete the second part that it is currently recording. There are now some delays when moving between screens and the purple circle is back :( One difference is that it seems to queue the requested commands, as opposed to the old TiVo which completely ignored anything when it was purple circling. Has anyone else with a V6 encountered this or any other problems? Also this https://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/s...php?t=33703996 ---------- Post added at 13:00 ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 ---------- Screen just went totally black, did another reboot. At the top it says that it's no longer connected to the internet (error code C233) and keeps alternating between the home screen and a black screen (with no audio when it does this). Rang V6 faults. After managing to get it to 'Connect to Virgin Media, it is now working ok. Moral of the story:. If rebooting doesn't clear problems, try connecting to VM! He did say that it might have been a software update that got stuck. On Network status the other day it said 60%, when I checked for VM a few minutes ago it said 50% (marginal) and now it says 52% (good). Are these acceptable and normal ranges? If not, perhaps I will need Homeplugs instead of WiFi after all... Now that it doesn't have its own dedicated internet connection, will BB outages stop the V6 working? |
Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
Rather than homeplugs is there no way you could supply ethernet to it?
I should imagine no BB would have an effect but not having one... |
Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
The router is in my home office two floors up, so it's not really practicable.

Do you ever stop continually pressing the buttons on your remote? I'm beginning to think you are hyperactive. For the sake of all of us, don't go anywhere near any of our nuclear power stations!! |

Richard, Given the two floors separating your V6 and Superhub and the network status showing marginal wifi connection, I would suggest that powerline connection would be more appropriate for you.
Which wifi band is the V6 currently connected to? If the 5GHz band then I would suggest moving the connection to the 2.4GHz band as it has a better reach than the 5GHz band and this may help. |

Sorry, Richard, you have provided much entertainment on Cable Forum, but this is becoming a pantomime! No provider of services is perfect, but you seem to underestimate the difficulties in providing a service in this fast moving technological world. If you waste your life in finding fault with what others do, you will never be disappointed, but you will lose your credibility. Just use the box in the way that most people do, and I am sure that performance will be more than acceptable. |

Idiotic statement. Yesterday evening the picture started going on & off again, am I supposed to just shrug my shoulders and say c'est la vie? It worked fine again, but it wasn't a 'connect to VM' that corrected it, it was a reboot this time. If it happens again (after checking Robbos suggestion) I'll report it as a fault. Nobody else has reported any problems with their V6, so I will have to assume that its my particular box that's faulty. |
