    as long as you have not changed cable coaxial provider a simple powering off of kv at back and router and modem for 30 secs then on,it will log an ip and should work,note a number of channels are off again.

      reboot your both your Router & KV......then check you have internet access on your pc.

      try one of the asian channels like starplus....as their all working

        thank you but no luck

        I have a new wireless router and am no longer using the virgin modem to which the coaxial cable connected. The new wireless router uses the BT infrastructure (socket on the wall), however, the coaxial that connects to the tv remains the same, the tv set up uses powerplugs to access the wireless router, do i need to reset the powerplugs to connect to the new router?

          Assume you still have a live VM feed.

            I haven't had a virgin tv sub for quite some time, but the KV box used to work connected to the coaxial from outside, the only change made is BB & phone supplier from virgin to Plusnet/BT

                does your powerplugs have some sort of encryptions? im not good with powerplugs , never used them.

                        Hi,

                        I use Plusnet on a BT landline. If I have any voicemail messages then the dialing tone changes from a steady tone to a pulsing one and this stops the router connecting and makes me lose all encrypted chanels so you may like to try that.

                          no need to configure ip setting on kv as it will automatically get ip settings, as long as all settings are correct on your Router/Powerplugs. you may need to change the encryption on your powerplugs via your pc, to those current encryption ie wep/wpa on your plusnet router.

                              Thank you all so very much for all your help

                              1. reconfigured the encryption on the power plugs
                              2. powercycled the plugs
                              3. connected to the wireless network

                              RESULT!
