I think the big question is - Are you allowed to have 2 horizon main boxes?

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Yes, I know, but if you cannot, they are not for me unless we get a 2Tb hard drive.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

I suspect a lot of the limitations at present will be lifted or resolved in the future.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

absolutely old boy i agree! the v6 boxes are great for me for this reason! have no issues with them so im surprised virgin media are abandoning them for horizon boxes.

people on the virgin media forum are still under the assumption that horizon software will eventually come to the v6. do we know the source which is suggesting on here that its not going to happen?

It was this story: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.ph...or-launch.html

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

That's right. As far as I know, Virgin has not made such an announcement. Mind you, they tend not to tell us anything!

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

is 360 system, still on test. or is it avaible to everyone

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Not generally available.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

After a suggestion that it is only a few seconds I checked the live pause buffer and is is 180 minutes.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Is that HD or SD?

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Yes, but only on the Live TV channel, I think.
There is no way, if I understand correctly, to get all six tuners buffering. You can’t access the tuners like you could on V6, using the Info button.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

That's disappointing, it's really useful.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Well that's a pain in the arse. Still think they should add an option to park the tuners on favourite channels, so you've always got a buffer on them when the box is mostly idle.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Was on a HD channel.

Just received our two 360 boxes straight away i could see it would be the same set up as sky q which i can not get on with. i phoned them to confirm All recording will be in one place so only 1T storage and all recordings are in one place mixed up. I prefer they way its set up with the v6 box in a separate folder so i know what i have left to watch and what space i have left on the drive. Also with this set up your programs may not record if other people in the house has filled up the drive. My personal opinion i am staying with the v6.
