Virgin
pbc 2112 – 5 mins ago »
ip address ???.???. the last two no.s are different to one below
otherwise exactly the same
gateway address ???.???. this matches my ip address with provider
That makes no sense to me at all. Why so cryptic.
I use a virgin router but it’s in modem mode, as WiFi coverage is crap.
Can you try temporarily running a cat5 cable direct to the Virgin router network switch ?
Everyone will know the numbers used anyway as all Virgin routers are the same. Depending on how many numbers are assigned to DHCP the last two will be one of these starting from from 2. Virgin use 192.162.0.xx
eg My Foxsat address ip is 192.168.1.6. It’s on a netgear router. The virgin router acts only as a cable modem.
No one is asking for your router setup password. Without this the numbers are useless to anyone else.
You should reserve the box address to the box mac address to ensure it remains the same.
You can only ping an internal IP address from within your home network.
I am just trying a cat5 cable now

I am just trying a cat5 cable now
Is the box set to use auto DHCP addresses ?
The box says configure ip DCHP which is in blue the only other option is manual which i presume you don’t want which is black. I have just connected the lan cable it is connected but it still does not work on pause. I still have two virgin boxes on the would that have anything to do with it as they are both in use. The idea of buying one of these humax boxes is do away with virgin tv and save money.
Just seen something else in the settings recorder registration Ive not registered anything I thought that is just for using live tv app on your phone is that correct.

Live pause is nothing to do with the internet connection. You do not need it to be connected to the internet. All the time the box is on a live TV channel the tuner digital output stream is simply copied as is to a file on the HDD (The time shift buffer file). A disk format should have sorted it out. Guessing the Hard disk is shot. If it was disconnected and connected to a PC booted into linux the file system could be checked and possibly repaired. Other than that a new HDD may sort it out.
I am going to send it back and get a replacement the hardrive does say its ok and around 960g free. Thanks for your help i will let you know how I get on next week.
Cheers
