I just resolved the issue by changing the unsubscribed channels setting option to show back to hide

 

 

I'm pretty sure this was reported earlier in the thread, glad you've already found the fix. I've probably had to do it maybe 2-3 times in the last 6 months, frustrating when you first encounter it but an easy fix once you know.

My box (Gen2) will no longer join wifi networks, have tried 3 different wifi networks (all 5ghz) it will ask for the password, i will type it in, it will sit there for 30 seconds then ask for the password again (endless loop).  Did a reboot, reset etc and still have the issue.

 

Had to put a spare router into media bridge mode and have that join the main wifi network and then used a cable to connect the vtv box to it

The micro pauses (which often aren't "micro", and I guess could be buffering?) and pixelation are becoming far too regular and are rather annoying. Only affects broadcast TV, and not built in apps.

ETA: And we're seeing this across three VTV boxes, all wired. 2Degrees fibre 900/500.




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I see the  Vodafone tvsection on their community forum has picked up on it and many are reporting the same issue.

This has happened to me a few times and the only thing I have found to work is to pull the plug from the VTV, go and have a cup of coffee then come back and re-power the device.

@tripp I had this happen to me once when I changed the router and had a different sub network being used by the router. Plugging it on Ethernet briefly to get it working fixed the problem, and then I could go back to Wi-Fi.

Thanks, have not changed anything on the network etc. I even tried the advance network setup on the vtv and still had the same issue.  It's working with the media bridge (better in fact as the picture is a clearer than it was when using the inbuilt wifi). So will just leave it for now.

Have VF responsed to the stuttering issue?  The VF forum is quite in terms of VF feedback and @sansom is playing a different role is got quieter here too.

My VTV has something new, well new to me. It won’t play catch-up on any of the pay to view channels. The are there, they play live but if I go back to watch catch up e.g Wheeler Dealer on Discovery Turbo the item just flashes at me when I click to play. I tried the free to air channels and catch up is working fine. Restarted the unit but no change.
