Product Information

However in the very centre there’s usually a network name and that can help you to identify who owns what. One of the most common examples is when you see a chamber lid with the CATV name in the middle, which usually reflects the existence of cable TV / broadband networks like Virgin Media or WightFibre (or Telewest, NTL and Smallworld Media before them). The big problem with these is that from the surface they all look pretty generic and that’s because they have to conform to certain standards. On top of that some networks have changed hands so many times over the years, or share their infrastructure, that identifying who manages what from the central label can easily turn into an exercise in frustration. Take note that the murky area of infrastructure leasing adds some complication to the above picture. For example, Virgin Media appears to own its entire metro area network but they also seem to lease subduct/fibre for big chunks of their long distance links (possibly via CenturyLink). Likewise Sky is known to work with both British Waterways and CenturyLink. FYI, I have not yet signed up to broadband/TV as I’m not living there currently whilst having some remedial work done first - is it worth signing up to VM first so I at least know that its working, and/or get VM in to make the changes as part of sign up (i’ll be a new customer).

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? The current set-top box is the Virgin TV 360 box, which is a compact and sleek device that offers seamless integration with Virgin Media's TV and broadband services. The Virgin TV 360 box supports 4K resolution and HDR content, and comes with a voice-controlled remote for easy navigation. It also offers features such as catch-up TV, on-demand content, and the ability to pause and rewind live TV.

They don’t need planning permission but they would usually speak to the council about the installation of these boxes. However, in this case, they didn’t”, he said.

Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, national insurance and more 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. Granted at a certain age saying the word “ manhole” might well have resulted in furious giggles from across the room but we older folk know better (ehumm..) and in this case we’re talking about underground chambers, which usually house all sorts of networking wonders; as well as the occasional horror. Prior to the Virgin TV 360 box, Virgin Media offered the V6 box, which was introduced in 2016. The V6 box was an upgrade from the previous TiVo box, and offered a faster processor, 4K resolution, and the ability to record six shows at once. The V6 box also featured a range of apps, including Netflix and YouTube, and allowed users to pause, rewind, and record live TV.Unlike previous set-top boxes from Virgin, the TV 360 only needs a Virgin Media broadband connection either wired or over wifi. Previous boxes relied on the same coaxial cable that delivers your broadband being routed to wherever you have your TV, which could cause some installation headaches. The fact you now only need wifi makes installation of the TV 360 much, much easier. Council chiefs said communication companies including Virgin Media do not require planning permission to install the boxes.

Autumn Statement: Workers to pay less in national insurance – but rate cuts don't offset the freezing of personal tax thresholds I am absolutely delighted, pensioner power has won the day. Rosemary, Donald, and Betty have taken on a national company and won - it’s fantastic.” Thanks to one of our readers (Mark), we’ve been able to get a better picture of the GPO steel cabinet with its original door (shown in the lower res image above right). See the new picture immediately to the right of this text. A smaller distribution or amplifier cabinet that is again used for either HFC or FTTP (SD1i). Such cabinets can help to serve as few as 30 homes by themselves or be used to support others in connecting up to a total of 512. One catch here is that Virgin can also use the same chassis to act as a dedicated power cabinet, such as for the next beast. If you have your landline phone contracted with Virgin Media and it's giving you problems with poor call quality, dropped calls or a dead line, there are a couple of things you can do before calling in the engineers.
