I had one incident pre-Virgin. Last night produced my 3rd 2056 error in 2 weeks. Apparently it's an error closing the file at the time of recording which makes the file/recording unueable regardless of reboot. VM hope to eradicate it with a software update. Hope they hurry. The box has also starting ignoring 2 series links. Kinda embarrassed as I've been recommending the V+ to friends and now when we have a catch up sesh, we've lost episodes. Tried customer services but couldn't take the muzak after 11 mins - no voice assuring me I hadn't been abandoned while they went for lunch. Shame. i hope it's just teething probs.
I've taken this from another thread on the subject. Search on '2065' to find all.
