I thought Virgin boxes were meant to work with Virgin cable.

Hit it on the top on the left hand side with a clenched fist. It’s worked on several of mine.

Virgin box will connect to the hdmi 1 port on the telly via an hd lead, then select the source 'HDMI 1' on the TV.

Take it back to the shop and tell them you are too stupid to own a TV and ask for a wireless instead.

Hmmm do modern day tv's have 'tops' in the way that they always used to?

 

[A mex eyecan]

have you tried crawling round the back and twiddling with either the vertical or horizontal holds?

If you have a Virgin Media box, then you connect the unit to the TV via HDMI. If it can't find the VM box then you either have connected it to the wrong port or have a faulty cable (assuming the VM box used to work okay).

If you are trying to find freeview channels through the VM box then it won't happen - you still need an aerial to get those (although most are available on the standard VM package anyway).

Have you tried using an old metal coat-hanger as an ariel?
Worked a treat for my Cortina, mind that was radio, is there a difference?

That takes me back to my Morris Marina days. What shape did you go for with the hanger. Always tried the heart shaped with mine what with the Marina being such a ‘love wagon.’

Just the standard diamond for me on my Austin 1100
