Virgin 360 Box Saying “Wrong Network” When Using Sky Internet — Stuck on Setup

[cjenkz22]

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded from an old TiVo box to the Virgin 360 box. Before agreeing to the upgrade, I made it very clear to Virgin that I do not use Virgin broadband — I use Sky internet — and I asked if the 360 box would work with my own ISP. I was told this would be fine.

However, during setup I’m completely stuck. The box gives me this message:

“Wrong network — You’re connected to the wrong network. Reconnect to your Virgin Media WiFi network.”

It won’t let me get past this screen at all, and there’s no option to skip or continue.

Has anyone had this issue before? Does the 360 box actually require Virgin broadband despite what I was told? Any solutions or workarounds would be appreciated.

Thanks!

@cjenkz22 Take a look!

Can I just have the TV with Virgin media and take the broadband with another company? | Virgin Media...

Good to see you are at least asking the VM Forum if it works or not!
