    Help Splurgin Vbox Problems

    Guys,

    I have just purchased a VBOX from flea bay, brand spanking new.. As I have a subscription to splurgin and already have one box.. I assumed that if I had a second box I would be able to use it as a freeview box in another room through my existing slurgin connection and not pay them £10 a month for the box..

    However.. I plugged it all in this morning and all I get is a 2110 message on the box's LCD screen and I am unable to take it out of standby..

    Any ideas how I can get it working as a freeview box???

    All help appreciated..

    V+ Box?

    Surprised you managed to get one on eBay TBH as virgin equipment is rented to customers not owned, so thus cannot be sold. It won't do anything without a paired card.

    I don't suggest you tell virgin you have the box, or request a card for it!

    It's basically a doorstop.

    Don't think it will even get freeview without a paired card. 1-5 maybe, but even then it won't record.

    Wont work without a paired card in it.

    It came with a card.. I take it that the cards are not paired when these are sent out?

    turn power off to box make sure its completly off then hold in the up and down arrow keys on the front of box whilst powering up wait till it says LD14 on LCD display let buttons go it should boot into engineers diagnostics menu.
    if u get that far goto the NetID page if its 09999 then input the net ID from your area and save, it should then reboot and update. you should get freeview with any card in, however the new software brings up the anoying wrong card for box msg all the time.

    Thanks all for your help.. It appears that I have regressed back to noob...

    Managed to get it set up but I only get channels one to five plus beeb 3 & 4 .. As stated already, because the card is not paired to the box or my account!

    So its going back on flea bay.. Next option is freesat HD as I have an old sly dish on the side of the house.. I may even pay Splurgin for a second box...

    Thanks again all

    Careful selling VM equipment on eBay. It's not owned by anyone but VM, and would be deemed selling stolen property.

    I'd shit bin it.
