Understanding what the Virgin TV V6 box lights mean

There are three LED lights on the front of the V6 box – you’ll find two on the panel next to the Virgin Media logo, and one on the standby button.

The LED on the standby button is the main light, and it changes colour depending on its state. If you tap on any of the colours listed above, you’ll be able to find out what each colour means.

The other two LEDs reflect the connection to the Virgin Media network and the internet connection status of the TV box. If everything is working normally, these lights will stay off.

If any of the LED lights are continuously flashing it means there could be a fault.

Understanding what the Virgin TV TiVo box lights mean

There are six LED lights on the front of the TiVo box. The different combinations of lights will let you know what state the TV box is in. These are split into two sets of three lights – one set on the left, and one on the right.

On the left side set of lights, and from left to right, the first standby LED indicates power to the TV box, the second online LED shows connection to the internet (either wired or over WiFi), and the third button is the remote control LED, which blinks any time a button is pressed on the TiVo remote. Find out more about these lights by pressing the combinations of the colours listed above.

The right side set of lights are recording lights, and will only show red LEDs. These lights show that recordings are in progress. If one light is lit red, one recording is happening; if there are two red lights, two shows are recording; and if three are red, then you’ve guessed it, there are three things currently being recorded.
