    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    Lots of redditors complaining that VM are adapting to the Renewal dance now and finding it much harder to get better deals. Maybe its better to just let the existing contract expire and if the haggling has not worked, resign up the following day as a new customer and get new customer pricing?

    8700G Based Mini PC

    Well that sucks, was hoping could pair one of these with the new AMD 8700g if its any good that is. Was it demand and supply issue due to them being popular?

    8700G Based Mini PC

    Some pictures and specs and info updated here articles says the deskmeets coming soon in a few weeks time, the mini and jupiter should come after AMDs 8000 launch. I like that jupiter case but the mini probably better suited for upgrades etc

    CES 2024

    Yeah it may not early on, but we did get the Evo or WBE panels in the LG C2 series a year after they went in the G series, keeping fingers crossed. Also we are seeing QD-OLED 3rd gen improving picture quality (text) and more pixels in smaller size panels, from sounds of things its coming to the...

    CES 2024

    Nice improvements but I would have liked it if LG put their MLA panel tech into the C4 series, instead it appears they have made the C4s more brighter via the booster feature. Lets see if their Ai and upscaling is really worth it also. Samsung 42" and 48" TVs finally but again they are using...

    8700G Based Mini PC

    It does look good some info here I think many will enjoy the 8700g with that built in gpu performance to boot, even for non gamers and at least gives people the GPU grunt to handle all the latest videos and codecs (AV1) and much more.

    Community Fibre

    I think VM do have some form of IPv6, there are a few threads about it here and how its caused major issues for many especially with 3rd party routers or with pfsense/opensense etc Disabling IPv6 apparently does not work either, it can break the connection or cause other issues. There is...

    Macrium reflect?

    I tried the hasbero and other similar freebie ones.... not anywhere on the same level of Macrium sadly, its when you want to say take an backed up image and dump it onto a new ssd/nvme or even on a different PC. Reflect can handle the hard drive partitioning, resizing or new nvmes/ssds you have...

    Password managers! (Fed up of lastpass!)

    Tried them all, bitwarden was the first and its decent but imo it never quite worked as reliable and good as Lastpass desktop PC use does. I actually tried nordpass, bitwarden, keepass, samsungpass and several others for few days each since I really wanted to test the competition vs Lastpass...

    Windows 11 is garbage

    Recently upgraded to Windows 11, I was still on 10 and trying to skip to 12 but..... There is a stupid bug that MS have never fixed probably from windows 95 with dual screen setups. If you switch on your monitor and TV at same time or one of the other the desktop reverts to just the 1st screen...

    Help me choose the quietest 18Tb HDD

    Its hit and miss with hard drives imo, there are some guys that get the WD Red pros and some click and others say no click. The WD gold are meant to be very special and good quality though but never tested them myself. This is gonna sound OT, but fix the long term issue see if you can move your...

    Samsung announces 2024 OLED monitors - CES 2024

    3rd gen sounding good, I was thinking must be on the 2nd by now but time flies so its good there on the 3rd and addressing the text and burn in issues. One thing I didn't like with Samsung they finally released the 42 and 48" TVs and there still using the old LG OLED panels underneath, I would...

    2024 OLED bonanza take your pick from dozens of new monitors

    Yeah its a minefield, every time it feels like you see something decent its either curved or ultra wide or both!

    2024 OLED bonanza take your pick from dozens of new monitors

    Its nice to see OLED panels getting that 4K and 31"+ treatment, but id rather prefer the flat panels and not curved ones.

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    Try live chat on o2, sometimes you have to keep chatting to someone who can see the issue and resolve it. I had o2 volt benefits not applied (speed boost) and it was like speaking to a brick wall, but once you get hold of someone who can see the issue and resolve it usually its ok. Might be...

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    Not much help but I have this issue once, now I use the whatsapp VM chat and this way the conversation is logged so when they say what price? I say look above few comments. Also always get the name of the person who you are speaking to, but even that Id bet they will try to get around with.
