V+ service activation
 
Every morning around 06:00 I get a message come on my TV something like “You V+ service will be activated shortly”. This stays on the screen for about 5 minutes, then the box reboots. Then after about a minute another message saying “Your digital TV will start shortly”. Then after a few more minutes everything is back to normal.
This has only started this week. Is this something new and should happen, or is this a fault?
The box is one of the new V+ plus ones as the old one gave up a few months ago.
Anyone got any advice please.

I've heard of V+'s occasionally re-booting like this, but if it's happening persistantly there may be an issue. Might be worth making sure you're smartcard is correctly seated in it's slot.

It's a fault which is under investigation. A box swap won't help, so please bear with us until it's fixed.

However, I wasn't aware that the message stayed on the screen that long. Can you be exact about the time the message appears, and then the time the box reboots?

Doing an installation, if the live tv hasnt come through on the box, eventually it will come up saying the V+ will be activated, but this only takes about 3 minutes tops before the box reboots itself.

It hasn't done it all week, then this morning it did it again. The first message around 2 minutes then about another 3 minutes to re boot.
