Ive just tried virgin media player and nothing happens other than i see a screen saying "checking device details" which never changes. Any clues?

wtf is virgin media player?

I think you are in the wrong channel dude, a quick google looks like it is for tv and mobile phones

i just tried signing in and got an error message because I don't have movies or sport with VM but it got past the loading screen alright. The only thing i can think of is that maybe it is hanging while looking for some codecs or something. Have you googled the problem?

I have just managed to log in. It does say you need TV XL and broadband.

I have got playing Charlies Angels after wading through 4 adverts so at least it does work even if it does take a long time to get to be able to play something and the formatting of the web page isnt that good.

I'm constantly surprised at how fast Google finds new threads.

I'm constantly surprised how fast Google thinks it knows what I'm looking for, before I do! ;)

Sorry if that was :notopic:

I kept getting the "detecting device" message, until I decided NOT to accept the secure connection.

Now I have access to the VM Player via my PC. :o)
