V6 "clicking "
 

When I fast forward a recording I get a click or. tapping sound every couple of seconds. Fast forward on netflix, i player etc nothing even when I access via the box .Is it on the way out :erm:

Re: V6 "clicking "
 

Might be, if that clicking is the Hard Drive.

Seems reasonable , I will sit back and wait for it to die , yet again:rolleyes:

Re: V6 "clicking "
 

Yeh it’s on its way out. The clicking is from the HDD which is holding the recorded programmes, having trouble. Netflix, etc. doesn't use the disk and hence you don’t see the same issue.

Do be aware that when the disk goes, it will permanently take out everything stored on it, VM have no means of ‘transferring recordings to a new box, they will all be lost.

Not a problem , inconvenient yes. I record everything except news. Sometimes, watch 30 mins later.ie skip ads, and when watching rugby , skips stoppages

Re: V6 "clicking "
 

Whilst true, the V6 continually buffers on all 6 recording tuners continually. That buffering is recorded to the HDD.

Now no picture when turned on , reboot gets it going . When it finally dies might as well go all in and bite the bullet , go 360. Contact up soon , does changing to 360 have any leverage

Depends what approach you take.

By rights, you have a faulty V6 and should report that. It'll be replaced, probably via tech visit, with a V6.

I would expect the tech to mention a migration to TV360, you can choose whether you accept that offer or stick with V6.

Contract renegotiation is a different, unrelated, issue. Expect to be offered TV360, be prepared to accept or decline depending on your preference.

Inclusive calls to landlines & mobiles 24/7, with the usual 59minute limit.

Thank you another service I won't use :D

Re: V6 "clicking "more problems and a question?
 

It comes in handy as it's a free call when dialling 150 vai the landline to speak to VM to report a fault, recontract etc.

Re: V6 "clicking "more problems and a question?
 

To be fair, with 03x calls being inclusive on most mobiles these days, that's less of an issue in many cases.

Many people seem happy to abandon landlines entirely and go wholly mobile, there's a very good argument for doing that for outgoing calls. Putting all your eggs in one basket can leave you stuck though, if there's a problem with one operator or technology.

Re: V6 "clicking "more problems and a question?
 

Landlines are equally prone to failure.

Re: V6 "clicking "more problems and a question?
 

Oh absolutely. My point being that if one tech/network fails, it's always good to have another to fallback on, even if just to use for fault diagnosis etc.
