Now TV Box been working fine till tonight then suddenly stopped working.Tried restting by pushing in the pin to restore it sees my network I enter correct password it goes through cycle then tells me cannot connect?I have a Virgin Media Superhub and all other devices connect to it fine.One of the suggestions I have seen is to check for udates via settings but when you do a reset you cannot get to that screen if it does not connect to the network wireless?

@Anonymous User it might be a bug with the latest firmware, however the temporary fix requires you making a change in the router. If you know how to log in to it you need to change the channel it uses from Auto, 12 or 13 to anything else (1, 6 and 11 are the recommended ones).
If you have no idea about changing settings on your router this guide from Virgin should help.

Mine is working although I had to set whole thing up again including puttting in bank details, which in result has meant I have lost all my passes, my tv watch list, whole lot has been wiped and it's like new again.  😡

@Anonymous User you should not have needed to do that.  Did you set up a new user name to add your bank details to?   You need to get the new account cancelled.  You will get double charged if you do not.   Best way to do this is to go on to chat.  Then log in with your old details pop back on to chat and they can help reactivate the passes for you.  please contact Now chat via this link
