Posted 27th Nov 2008
Im getting this error on my tv box. I have just moved in to my new flat 2day and it keeps getting stuck on ap52 as its loading. I cant phone them as i havent had the chance to buy my house phone yet. Does anybody know what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance

    Have you got Virgin set up at your new house?

    Just googled for the code and found this] forum

    Where one poster says" Its deliberate. It means you've connected a box that is set for a different area ID than the one your in.

    Your not supposed to even have a V-box"

    You can't just plug your old box into your new house without an engineer activating it.

    I guess they haven't activated your cable yet?

    Thats what i thought the problem might be. The broadband works fine and i havent had the chance to try the phone. How long can they take to activate?

    It's an issue with Virgin, switch off your box leave it off for a minute or so, unplug the aerial cable and then switch the box back on, when it comes up with LD20 plug the cable back in and it should load, if not reset the box and that should bring up your TV

    I have tried the first step but am still getting AP52. How do you reset the box?
