Alternatively, you can hold down the standby button on the front of your box for five seconds or unplug it from the main power supply, wait 20 seconds and then plug it back in. To check your TiVo or V6 box is connected to the internet you should again head to Help and Settings, Network and then select test your connection.
Connectivity issues with a third-party apps like Netflix or Sky Cinema which are available on both the TiVo and V6 boxes will probably be down to problems with that external service rather than your own device. The TiVo and V6 box will usually automatically connect to the Virgin Media service in order to download new data but if you need to do it manually, press the home button on your Virgin Remote and head into Help and Settings, Network and then select Connect to the Virgin Media Service now.
A white light will appear next to that logo to indicate that the box is in use and a red light will appear adjacent to that when the box is on standby. If you see an amber light, either solid or blinking, on that screen it means that your V6 box is having trouble connecting to your home broadband network.
The TiVo box looks a little different with a few more lights and buttons positioned in a long row all along the front. Next to that is the Online LED light which will glow green if your TiVo box is connected to the internet and the Remote Control Light which will flash green whenever you use your remote control.
On the right hand side of the TiVo box, are three recording lights which will shine red to correspond with the amount of TV shows or films which are currently being recorded. And that's not the only cool thing it can do. Looking for a specific show? Fancy finding something else starring Tom Hardy? We'll even share our WishList secrets with you….

What is the Virgin V6 box? Which is better — TiVo or V6? What is the Virgin TV V6 exactly? Here are just some of the ways it kicks the old Tivo box into touch: It's faster - If you've ever used a TiVo box, you know they can be a little sluggish at times.
The V6 is ten times faster - menus are near instantaneous and apps launch extremely quickly. The V6 supports the resolution, so you can watch certain on-demand shows with incredible detail.
In truth, there's not a whole lot to watch right now but 4K is the future, and the V6 is prepared for it. Search is fantastic - A search function may not seem like the most glamourous feature, but it is by far my favourite.
Simply start typing the name of a show into the box, and it will immediately start looking for it, before you've even completed the word. Even better, if that show is on multiple services - be it TV, catch-up or Netflix - all of them will show up in the results. You can launch catch-up TV from the guide - Finally, you can scroll back in the guide, select a show you missed and immediately launch that show to watch on catch-up.
YouView's been doing this for a while, so it's great to see Virgin Media catching up. You can record six shows at once - I can't recall a time when there were six things on TV at the same time that I wanted to watch. But if it's something you've experienced I'm not convinced it's a common problem, but feel free to tell me I'm wrong … well, it won't be a problem anymore. A new remote that beeps when you lose it - Here's another one I particularly like. If you lose the remote control and I do this all the time , you can press a button on the V6 to make the remote start beeping so you can find it.
