There was a loud "plax" as though the TV got hit by lightning. The screen went blank. Error message said to check internet connection. Virgin TV itself is playing okay and Freeview is working. But Now TV is not.
Internet connection is fine. My phones and laptops are all connecting and working fine. Router is okay. Called Virgin Media and their tests shows no Internet problem. But Now TV box is not connecting.
Does Virgin zapped Now TV - deliberately or accidentally?

Hi @Anonymous User
Since the latest nowtv firmware a few Virgin Media broadband customers have reported issues with their smart box,
Firstly I would try all the steps in this help article, where some Virgin broadband customers had some success setting a guest network on their router.

Edit ~ Not sure about the loud bang, which would concern me that the box may have developed a fault and needs replacing (just be careful) ?

Hi schnapps,That article is about ressting the Roku player. Can you recheck for the article that would instruct on how to set up a guest network on the Virgin router?
Checking now.
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous User
Apart from step 4, all other steps should be applicable to the nowtv smart box (apart from the factory reset which is done in the smart box menu settings or hold the small reset button on the bottom of the box smart for about 20 secs).
How to create a Guest network is shown in step 3.
