@virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

@virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

@virginmedia Hi, yes - it's a long story but involves a switch to O2 mobile that isn't saving money, and the new TV service that took 3 weeks of calls etc to install. It's not resolved yet by a long way, unfortunately!

@virginmedia How is that a fix?! It’s exchanging one problem for another, i’d be exchanging no on demand for losing all my recordings!!! When it’s probably nothing at all to do with the box!!!
