We recently upgraded from a normal Virgin set top box to a V+ box which allows us to record etc. Ever since the new box was installed we have been unable to access the 'Catch Up TV on Demand' portion. We get an error message on screen that tells us to call Virgin and quote a specific code.


We did this at the weekend and was told that there was a known problem in the area and it wouldn't be fixed until February. When my partner enquired about compensation for the loss of service he was told there wouldn't be any because this service was free anyway (which kind of missed the point).


Has anyone else in the area experienced anything like this? I'm on Goodrich but a friend on Upland has a perfect service so I have a feeling we're being fobbed off.....

I have been with Virgin Media for years, I have had more engineers round than.....!!. I had another problem last year and got so fed up, I googled the Chief Executives name, got his email address, wrote to him and within 24 hours there was an army of engineers at the property, been fine ever since. Good luck

I think it's happened to me three times in three years. I now know that this isn't a problem with the equipment in the house, it's something the engineers have to fix somewhere. However, it's impossible to convince the help line that this is the problem. So they insist on booking an engineer. You wait three days fro the engineer, then they turn up an say 'This isn't a problem I can fix, it's a prblem with the server (or something). Then a couple of hours later it works again.

I've been with Virgin Media for two years and really like having cable TV reception as opposed to aerial or dish but am having landline problems (no access even to operator or emergency) that are now in the 3rd week and today was told there are no 2-person teams available till Jan 18th.


Surely a courtesy mobile should be provided? We'll see ....


As for willb308's good luck! I've sent letters to their so-called Customer Care Director that have been signed in but not replied to. This is all going back well over 18m and is about surcharges that have been unbelievable.


I've lost patience so now it's to become an Otelo matter :-(

Happy New Year Mr Davidson!

      Chern Thai Restaurant Reopened On Grove Vale

      By Zak · Posted

      They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).

      How can one have the confidence that it is not the barista cutting your hair and the barber making your coffee?
