About this deal

Before the TiVo box, Virgin Media offered the V+ box, which was first introduced in 2008. The V+ box offered features such as pause, rewind, and record live TV, as well as the ability to store up to 80 hours of content. The V+ box also supported high-definition content and offered a range of on-demand content. Overall, Virgin Media has continually updated its set-top boxes to offer users the latest technology and features, ensuring that its customers have access to the best possible viewing experience. Virgin Media broadband installation process can vary depending on the type of service you choose and the existing infrastructure in your area. Generally, the process involves the following steps: There are over 600,000 members in our gang, all ready to help and share handy tips on getting the most from our services. Virgin Media Connect app:Requires compatible iOS/Android mobile or tablet. Virgin Mobile customers: the app will work on a device where a Virgin Mobile SIM is present and setup has been completed. Virgin Fibre customers: the app will work on a device where setup has been completed using My Virgin Media account details. Virgin Fibre customers can use the Connect app on up to 7 devices at any one time and benefit from Virgin Media's WiFi hotspots whilst out and about. For setup: Mobile data connection required for Virgin Mobile customers. Internet (mobile data or WiFi) connection required for Virgin Fibre customers. UK only. Experience varies by location and number of users. It’s not always possible to guarantee that we’ll be able to offer this app on every device, platform and operating system version or variant. Terms and conditions apply. Wi-Fi extender pods are currently unavailable (at the moment), likely due to the router mode issue.

The situation with Virgin Media routers is rather tumultuous at the time of writing. Existing customers will have a mixture of the older Hub 3 and the newer Hub 4, depending on how long they've been a customer, and which broadband speed they receive. But it's even more mystifying than that, because Virgin Media is currently rolling out its latest Hub 5 router to those subscribing to its top speeds, but getting one may also depend on where you live, since the Hub 5 requires your local Virgin Media network to be upgraded to supply it. Confused? Feeling frustrated, I decided to conduct some further research and attempted to use my own Wi-Fi extenders. To my surprise, I discovered that the 5x hub does not have a router mode, which was an essential feature for my needs.Hi everyone, I hope this information can be helpful for others as it took me over a week and more than 20 calls to Virgin support to finally resolve the issue. Testing and activation: Once the installation is complete, the technician will test the connection and make sure everything is working correctly. You may need to activate your account online or over the phone before you can start using the broadband service

Book the right slot: It may seem obvious, but you'll have to be at home when the engineer arrives to set you up. Having apoken to a fair few Virgin Media technicians in our time, we can tell you you would be amazed how many people either forget or simply book a time that was never convenient in the first place Technically and legally, yes you were miss-sold a product, you were told it would do xyz, when in fact it wasn’t technically possible. Now it’s not your fault if VM fail to communicate between their various departments or fail to train their agents on what is happening. You probably do have good grounds to require VM to release you from contract without penalty and look elsewhere - not that this will happen without a fight and escalation to the Ombudsman Service, but in extremis.... Along with your wireless broadband Hub, they’ll give the strongest possible connection to multiple devices without compromising on performance. So whether you’re streaming your favourite shows or browsing social media, they’ll deliver a fast and stable connection to mobiles, laptops, gaming devices and more, meaning that no one in the family has to compromise on their tech time. Win win. On the plus side, Virgin's cables are able to deliver quite insanely fast internet speeds and a broad range of TV services through a single discreet cable. On the negative side you have to have said cable running past your home to get it, and Virgin Media will need to drill a hole in your outer wall all the way through into your home to install your services.Virgin Mobile customers:The app will work on a device (iPhone, cellular-enabled iPad, Android phone or cellular-enabled tablet) where a Virgin Mobile SIM is present and the App has verified your SIM (whilst you on the Virgin Mobile data network). If you have got a Pay As You Go plan, remember to register for a My Virgin Media account first). This 5x hub is a trial hub and they are giving customer this without telling them. (Well never told me) If you're new to Virgin Media and having your services installed for the first time there are a few things you should look to do both prior to sign-up, and during the (usually around) two-week wait to having your services installed.

Virgin Media offers a range of set-top boxes to suit different viewing habits and preferences. In terms of installation, if you've already got a Virgin Media broadband connection up and running, Virgin Media will simply post you the box and you can just plug it in and go. If you're new to Virgin Media it'll be set up the same day as your broadband. For your Apple device, you can try this: Open Settings > Tap your name > Tap iCloud > Tap Manage Settings > Tap the Connect App > Tap Delete Data.Know where you want to put your router: Where the technician drills a hole into your home from the exterior wall will be determined by the spot you choose to have your router. Try to choose somewhere as close to the middle of the house as possible to minimise wifi dead zones at the extremes of your home The white cable (as far as I can tell) goes out my first floor flat into this by the main door on ground floor: I find myself in a rather inconvenient situation, but I'm optimistic that Virgin will resolve these issues soon.

For your Android device, you can try this: Open settings > Apps > Connect App > Storage > Clear data / Clear cache. However, the biggest issue lies with the fact if you have poor wifi then the app won’t launch so you can’t actually test the area that’s affected… third party speed testers are able to launch and work fine, so it begs the question why can’t virgins in house app do this? (Makes you wonder if they don’t want you to test your signal so you can’t claim compensation..) wifi is still hit and miss even with the boosters, so frustrating.Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums. It's great having you on board with us in the Community. Well, Virgin Media will be able to tell you which router you're getting. It won't be the Hub 3 as that's now discontinued. But in the following table let's compare the three anyway so you can see what's what.
